Talk:The Blunkett tapes

Would be good to have some detail on:

What is covered in the books / docu.
Controversy - political implicaions for Tony Blair / Labour / Iraq war etc
How much trouble did he get in for writing so candidly whilst many of these issues are still live? Why publish now?
Is it a bid to improve his popularity for a possible leadership bid or return to Cabinet under borwn, possibly as Chancellor? Any evidenece of this?
