The rules as they apply to the removal of a civil servant in the event of a catastrophic lapse (such as, for example losing a disk containing the personal and bank details of every child benefit claiming individual / couple in the country) are admirably clear: sack the most senior person the government can find who (a) isn't a mate of Fat Gordy and (b) is someone nobody cares about; then describe the sacrificial lamb as a 'junior' official.

Darling's a contrite man with much to be contrite about and while Steve McLaren might be the luckiest Englishman, clearly the former chancellor - now prime minister - is the luckiest man in Britain.
