Causing a panic based shortage of fuel and safety risks [a woman has now set herself alight transferring petrol at home] is not what a Cabinet minister is supposed to do ....
Should Maude Resign?

Nothing changes.
But my understanding was she stumbled while serving a trayful of drinks? I could be wrong there. I saw something similar in a posh West End bar I once worked in, where waiters were expected to carry trays of drinks aloft on fingertips. Blood everywhere!

And now a woman in York has suffered 49% burns decanting petrol in her kitchen (while cooking dinner).

Granny tax, pasty tax, self-immolation. A week the 'government' will be glad to see the back of. The trouble is there'll be more of the same next week. Has there ever been as inept a first term government as this one?
As for Maude, yes he'll go. Mainly because Cameron started all the panic when he advised people with half full tanks to fill them, and in Maude he's found someone to take all the blame.Steve

...perhaps dear old Sir Mervyn was right to tell the USA Ambassador that he was most concerned at the lack of experience of the Tory leadership ...
i do think that the panic buying and consequent shortage of fuel, the social disorder and traffic chaos, are both socially and economically damaging on a substantial scale and he should resign ... [Maude] ... and if Cameron doesn't get him to go by tea time his leadership will be the weekend lead news story and there will be blood all over Downing St by Monday ... failures of Dave Coulson Brooks Hilton freedland Cruddas etc poor judgement etc ... it will run and run ... David Davis will be stirring with a long handled spooooon too ....
meanwhile unemployment is staggeringly high we have no credible plan for recovery and debt/deficit management ... just cuts and Tory Boy SmartsLast edited by aka Calum Da Jazbo; 30-03-12, 11:31.According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

I have felt since 2010 that he is 1% presentation and 99% psychotic warlord. I should add that I have no doubt this feeling is wrong as that sort of thing would be professionally assessed. But then professionals wouldn't probably assess that three quarters of the country's oil is in his DNA. Many of them of course have their own issues regarding so-called slickness.
