It's a topsy-turvy world when ordinarily uber-loyal Labour blogger Luke Akehurst turns on a cabinet minister, but Ruth Kelly's decision today to send her child private (albeit one with an educational disability) gets him hot under the collar.
"If you are responsible for the education and healthcare that everyone gets, you ought to demonstrate your confidence in it by using it yourself," he writes.
Mr Akehurst, currently a Hackney councillor, has stood for Westminster twice himself, and points out its hard getting past Labour constituency party nominations with yours kids in a posh school or if you have private health insurance - options he has turned down.
It's easier to do that once you've already been elected, a la Diane Abbott.
Tory blogger Iain Dale, suggests that it's an understandable, if hypocritical decision. But it's not a resigning issue, he says.
With Mr Dale an A-list Tory candidate himself, an unkind poster adds a wry "Would-be MP in 'Hypocrisy not a resigning issue!' shocker".
"Not old Labour, not New Labour, just Labour" councillor Bob Piper is not surprised by Ms Kelly's move, and Guido Fawkes is simply unexcited by the news.
The lack of a proper backbench Labour row - only the reliable rentaquote Ian Gibson really sticking his head above the parapet - is just as telling.
To defuse the situation yet further, in her eventual statement in the wake of the Mirror's naming her as the cabinet minister in question, Ms Kelly reveals she will be returning her son to state secondary school in two years' time.
Storm in teacup time.
