Straw should get another senior role, he's even come out of the Iraq stuff with as much dignity intact as was possible under the unpleasant circumstances of Blair's blatant sabre-rattling. I think he's OK.
He seems to be missing that point. The person that REALLY needs to be reshuffled is himself. The longer he holds on to 'power' the further Labour is going to fall!
He is staying on as Deputy Prime Minister, but losing his department. I assume that means losing his portfolio, which, if true, means we have to wait until we see which department becomes repsonsible for Planning.
Whatever, Norman Baker's bleatings about a pie and a glass of water now become even more irrelevant than there were before.
