I'm at the Department for Business (BERR) to see Singapore's Minister Mentor arrive for talks with Business Secretary Lord Mandelson - but as we arrived the resignation of Hazel Blears was filtering through and there is a real sense here of unease, a feeling that these could be a very difficult and very unpredictable few days for Gordon Brown and his government.
I'll update more here later but Lord Mandelson told me this was a crisis of politics rather than specifically this government.
Tellingly though the Minister Mentor said he would be asking Lord Mandelson how the government could be 'rescued' - what a good way to describe it.
