Hunt has lied to the house about his impartiality in this matter. If that's not a resigning matter I don't know what is. He won't go and Cameron is such a staggeringly bad judge of character that he will stand by his millionaire chum

Cameron has certainly shown he is not a very good picker of men (or women for that matter), so far:

David Laws - gone (I know he's LibDem but he was still a minister)

Lliam Fox - gone

Theresa May - hanging by her manicured fingernails

Jeremy Hunt - Hiding behind Cameron's shirt tails

Andy Coulson - gone

Have I missed anyone out?

All in under two years, there'll be no bugger left come 2015

Don't worry, Osborne might find him next time he lifts them.

From the original cabinet.

If that lot was the best they could come up with, I shudder to think of the subs bench

I bet Hunt's looking forward to reading today's papers:

It seems that over the course of Cable & Hunt's periods in charge, the handling of the Sky deal has been impartial and even handed - on average

Mmm Salmond isn't gonna come out of this unscathed either.

He shouldn't, but the weight of e-mails relating to Hunt have allowed him to get away relatively unscathed - for the moment at least. Murdoch dropped him right in it late on yesterday.

Uncle Rupe today. Strap in.
