Why oh Why has Margeret Hodge not been sacked? Giving a helping hand to the BNP must mean a sacking, shurely there must be shume mishake?
Joan Ryan promoted to Home Office.
Does anyone else find it bizarre that a government should have a parliamentary secretary for social exclusion?
I am very glad to see Lord Bach go. What an incompetant he was. And complacent to boot!
Did Rosie Winterton get a big jump up the slippery pole or was she ignored?
PS-Does anyone know what happened to "Hapless Hoon" in the end?
Interesting that Andy Burnham has moved to Health. Who will be handed the poisoned chalice of ID card propoganda secretary now?
"Joined up" government?.....I have ceased to wonder, especially as UK's Creative Economy Programme is in gestation. Conceived by DCMS and DTI to eneble to compete in new global markets and industries, Purnell's and Alun Michael's baby is now left to the tender mercies of .... Shaun Woodward?......the new "Minister for Digital Switchover" ? Who does he now work for - DTI or DCMS - or are there still "Machinery of Government" changes to come? What about the Broadband Strategy, Digital Inclusion, New Media etc. etc. Perhaps "joined up" = keeping it in the Sainsbury family. At time of going to press Lord S was still looking after innovation and technology at the DTI.......
