Cabinet colleagues fear that Hazel Blears will “not wait to be sacked” and may instead resign, aiming a public broadside at the Prime Minister which will further undermine his position.

I'm no fan of Hazel Blears, but this looks like a typical Brown planted story.

'Cabinet colleagues' can fear many things. You never know some might be legitimate.
I have read elsewhere that The Telegraph editor is a drinking buddy of Ed Balls.
