david blunket is currently the home secretary, basically the guy who makes decisions about internal affairs, before that i think he used to be education secretary.
he's basically a blind (litterally) maniac who really is on a power trip at the moment, backed by tony blair.
the labour government is in something of a dissarray, they've been practically split apart, and tony blair has come very very close (exactly 4 votes) from a vote of no confidence being taken against him.
in a nutshell, labour is all over the place, returning to it's old tradition of being a completly fucked up party who can't run the country. tony is americas lacky, and is a practical dictator at home, wanting to abolish the monarchy and generally make everything hip and swinging with his middle aged labour thinking
yes, thats a bit biased due to the fact i'm a tory, but most of it still stands.
