Always a shifty-eyed character.
Met him once - never did maintain eye contact with him

Punchy said:Work and Pensions Secretary David Blunkett has resigned after a meeting with Tony Blair in Downing Street.
Mr Blunkett had been under pressure after breaking the ministerial code of conduct over paid work he took while he was out of Cabinet.
Downing Street had been standing by Mr Blunkett's ability to continue in his job, despite making a "mistake".
It is the second time Mr Blunklett has had to quit the Cabinet, resigning as home secretary in December 2004.
Making a habit of it......

"I have no/different recollection of events"
