Blears resigned from Gordon Brown's embattled Cabinet in the midst of the expenses row that has embroiled both sides of the political spectrum, while further undermining Labour's ever-weakening grip on power.
However, she has retained her parliamentary seat and stated that she intends to stand in the next general election - two outcomes that the Star, and its supporters, apparently find difficult to stomach.
The title has now pledged to be the first group to back a move to force Blears to stand down and is using its publishing and community connections to try and drum up support from residents’ associations, trade unions, community organisations, workers and residents of Salford.
Over the last few weeks Hazel Blears has shown that she is no longer fit to represent the people of Salford.
In the wake of extravagant expenses claims and avoidance of Capital Gains Tax we believe that she has abused the system, which we find morally and ethically disgusting.
Hazel Blears resigned from the Cabinet (in the most undignified way) but she is still our MP and says that she intends standing at next year’s General Election.
It is down to us, her constituents, to make our feelings known and force her to resign as MP for Salford. Right here. Right now!
We would like trade union branches, residents and community groups and individuals to join our campaign - Hazel Must Go!
Together we can demand justice for the people of Salford.
