It is going to be a big one.
The one eyed, mouth breathing, scottish stroke victim has no option but to spring clean his cabinet, he has the monkey of public opinion on his back. He also wants to get back in control of events.

Who will go? So far Telegraph victims Blears, Hoon and Purnell look pretty certain.
Shahid Malik has already gone.
Jacqui Smith is grossly inept and incompetent, which is why the Conservatives don't attack her. She makes the government look bad on a regular basis.

The prince of darkness will become foreign secretary.
Beckett will be back in.

My beloved Hazel has been set up big time the last few weeks for this fall. She really shouldn't have written the "You tube if you want to" article. Could create some nice new enemies for Winky though.

I bet he will fk it up and end up with too many schemers and plotters on the outside taking pot shots till the election.

I mean, come on, what are the chances of Broon making a good call?

Trouble is that not many of them want to go.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

Ah well, gonna be fun watching the Labour Party tear itself apart in its final year.

What about John Cowan? What do you think will happen with him DoR? What's his outlook for the future?

I doubt Beckett will re-emerge into the spotlight after her butt clenchingly awful performance on last week's Question Time.

Tactically, a return to the backbenches could really work in favour of the Manc Midget. She is definitely Party-leader material and she can safely build a circle of 'friends' round her which is much more difficult when she is doing some lame junior minister job.

I didn't say I liked her or support her. I'm about as far from a Labour-supporter as the spectrum can manage. But watch this space!

What? They want mediocre, ginger, dwarf, squirrel nutkin as party leader? Even I credit Nulab with more sense.

Let me enjoy the elections before thinking about a reshuffle. I have been so looking forward to them. With 50+ Labour MPs under investigation by their local constituency party, a total bloodbath in the local and European elections and all this expenses nonsense, a General election might not be as far away as people might think, especially if he alienates some of his current cabinet. Might be better to have them on the inside of the tent pissing outwards than the other way round.
