Work and Pensions: James Purnell New Hotseat
James Purnell MP has been promoted to Works and Pensions Secretary. He and another young James P, that's Plaskitt, were Junior Ministers in the Department in days of yore with Purnell having the former DSS side.
Apart from continuing the fast-tracking of Purnell this moves him out of the troubled waters of the Department for Culture Media and Sports where Arts Council musical chairs with Regularly Funded Organisations have gone down like a lead balloon.
Thoughts of Charles Clark, Alan Milburn or some other rehabilitation move, gone. Promotion for a woman perhaps for Culture. BBC say Yvette Cooper, LOL suggest Beverly Hughes. Wales? Who knows really. It cannot be a full cabinet post 'solo' as the quota of posts is full. Perhaps "attending as and when".

Wot no mention of Guido claiming his scalp?
Nah, doing that would stick in his throat.
What Labour of Bollocks will do is claim it was all a Tory conspiracy/Hain was always a wrong 'un/it's not important/Miranda Grell is really innocent/Ken Livingstone is a living God ...
Seems to me Hain took his own scalp on this one. Guido didn't break any single significant development in the story. Hain broke everything that came out himself in fact. Guido just broke wind and chatted fart. Hence the suitability of the name Mr GuF.
Chris: LOL.
