	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Aristotle \| Yvette Cooper
		Yvette Cooper is a 'golden girl', both as Labour's youngest minister and for her connections.
		Married to Gordon Brown's top adviser-confidante, Ed Balls, she had worked for Bill Clinton and John Smith and was seen as so talented that Sir Geoffrey Lofthouse was prised out of safe Pontefract and Castleford to give her an easy entry to the Commons.
		In Labour terms, she has the advantage of a grandfather who was a miner and a father, Tony Cooper, who has been the general secretary of the engineers and managers association.

	Why parents are angry about autism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Last week, I listened with growing disbelief and rage as Yvette Cooper (an otherwise smart woman who appears, sadly, to have been given a vaccination that has turned her into a robot) accused anyone calling for single vaccines of 'undermining public confidence', as if it were anyone's job but her department's to restore it.
		The truth is that none of us, not Yvette Cooper, not Tony Blair, not me, knows whether there is a link between MMR and autism, and unless the Government and medical establishment are mature enough to allow proper, independent research, then we will never know.
		Until Yvette Cooper and her colleagues start to address these questions (although she can leave the one about the parking ticket until later, if she likes), then parents will remain angry.
