Blair was very canny in allowing her to keep her job for so long
She acted as a mascot, allowing Blair to say 'Look, I employ Old Labour trouble makers', enhancing his standing, all the while Clare Short was pissing away millions by funding for Right Wing Think Tanks (see the Adam Smith Institute) while Africa starved. I say shit to your International Development - its just code for funding your wanker mates.
