So the total of Labour MPs calling on Brown to step down is now 12. Excellent. 12 down. 58 to go. Anything on the telly? The original list included Frank Field and Kate Hoey - in terms of Labour revolts, the Pope's Balcony and the Ursine wood habit. But the extra three includes Fiona MacTaggart - formerParliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office. Not one of the usual suspects,

BBC London radio and others are reporting that another of Boris Johnson's fabled deputy mayors has quit. This really is getting a little careless. Latest one is union buster Tim Parker , a canny double for BJ's sports commissioner, Kate Hoey. And yes, I do think she should be kicked out of the Labour Party. Parker has apprently resigned as he thought it inappropriate for an unelected official to hold...

The Evening Standard are crowing about Boris Johnson's Sport Commisioner, and Labour MP, Kate Hoey's decision to boycott the Beijing Olympics. "In contrast to the former Mayor of London, who was put up for three nights in a £1,100-a-night hotel before publicly defending China's human rights record, Hoey has boycotted the games "on principle." Ah yes principle. Hoey has a lot of those. Like her principled...

Things have come to a pretty pass when that doughty daughter of Ulster, Labour MP Kate Hoey is defended by the Conservative king of the blog Iain Dale and attacked in a Labour-looking website . Her announcement as sports adviser to the then Tory candidate for London mayor Boris Johnson can hardly have endeared her to the Labour campaign. But then she has often clashed with Labour’s sports policies...

Boris Johnson has appointed the Director of right-wing think tank Policy Exchange as his own 'Policy Director' at City Hall. Anthony Browne will replace the departing transition chief and ex-director of Policy Exchange Nick Boles.

Since his election Mayor Johnson has highlighted the London Olympics sporting legacy and appointed Kate Hoey, a Labour MP, as his sporting legacy champion. This has prompted media suggestions that other aspects of the legacy, such as the regeneration of East London, were being ignored. Boris Johnson himself has been quoted as saying he aims to lower the expectations about what is achievable in the...

Kate Hoey, former Labour junior sports minister and controversial aide to our new Conservative mayor, has admitted that Boris is not certain where some fairly large and important things are. That in itself might not be much of a revelation, but according to her interview with the Metro he's not the only one searching behind the sofa: Some boroughs cannot even tell you what [sports] facilities they...

Morris dancers of Vauxhall exhale now – your local MP is fighting for you. Kate Hoey has never been the most conventional of Labour MPs, what with her pro-hunting credentials and now a City Hall job alongside Boris Johnson. Still, her latest move is a curious one even by those standards.

I'm delighted for Londoners that Boris Johnson has made Countryside Alliance chair Kate Hoey his commissioner for sport, with a brief to "build up grassroots participation".

Becker he isn't, but the other Boris displayed a mean backhand when he knocked up last week with his freshly installed commissioner for sport, Kate Hoey, the first here of the US-style breed. The new London mayor revealed an innovative sporting hand when he opened refurbished tennis facilities at one of Hoey's "action zone" projects in her Vauxhall constituency. Sport, they both emphasised, should...
