Geoff Hoon is not going to stand for parliament at the next General Election. Although before Christmas he was reported to be committed to supporting the constituents of Ashfield as their MP.
He has flipped his homes and is now flipping his standing towards the electorate. He's running scared. He knows full well that the expenses scandal and the very poor attempt at ousting Gordon Brown last month has hit his credibility very hard.
He is another expense-fiddling, house-flipping git that doesn't want to risk public humilation in front of the electorate.
He'll get a nice big fat pension, relocation expenses, and has got a nice property portfolio as paid for by the taxpayer.
Reports in the Nottingham Evening post of January 09, 2010, stated "Members of the Ashfield Constituency Labour Party have told the Post that before Christmas Mr Hoon assured them he was "100%committed" to his job, but after his call for a ballot failed to find favour with Parliamentary colleagues there was speculation he may move on.
"Mr Hoon said he had no regrets over his intervention in the debate about party leadership and he was "committed" to remaining as the Ashfield MP."
