摘要

There are many reasons for cabinet ministers either to resign or to be sacked, but, while inevitable and overdue, the departure of Stephen Byers conformed to few of them. There was no scandal in his personal life and no falling out with senior colleagues about the direction or conduct of policy; although a serial manipulator of the truth, Mr Byers was smart enough never quite to be nailed for lying to the House of Commons; after his quasi-renationalisation of Railtrack, Labour MPS felt warmly towards him; cabinet colleagues, deploring his treatment at the hands of the press, offered solidarity until the end; although he damaged the government by his continued presence, the prime minister was still sorry to see him go, describing much of the criticism aimed at Mr Byers as "unfair" and, bizarrely, giving him the run of Number 10 to announce his resignation. Although the hapless transport secretary was ultimately paralysed by public ridicule as "Liar Byers" and subjected to every humiliation the media could invent, Mr Blair never quite withdrew his love from Mr Byers. And with good reason. While Mr Byers had personal traits that exacerbated his difficulties, in particular a tendency to recollect conversations rather differently from others that had been party to them, he was New Labour made flesh.
