prescott keeps job as ODPM but loses portfolio

[Storer68]

I'm sure Storer68's department won't be the only government department organising a street party to celebrate the abolition of the ODPM.

Actually we are quite sad to see it going as it took most of the flak that has been coming our way for the last few years

Good riddance to bad rubbish I say

"Colleagues remember Kelly as an affable but serious and dedicated member of staff. Her Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life. She went to mass every day; if she could not make it before work she would go to a church in Holborn, central London, at lunchtime."

If it's any comfort Lord B, Miliband "knew" Ruth Kelly, in the Biblical sense, according to this article by her former employers.

From that Grauniad website:-

"Although there were few early signs of her political leanings, she was on the same circuit as Ed Balls and David Miliband, with whom she had a brief affair. It was a relationship her mother, particularly, tried to encourage but it never developed into anything serious, according to friends. "

She appears to be a rabid tambourine - bashing Catholic; so goodness knws whether they ever actually exchanged bodily fluids. Odds are; not.

You want bad news? The new Defence Minister is a Celtic season ticket holding Human Rights lawyer..... I'd rather have had Prescott in charge of us.

Seems alright to me. I'd rather have another football bod in the cabinet.

One small point, a junior ministerial appointment in Health, Andy Burnham. He signed EDM889 in 2004. Not a huge amount of clout but it all helps.

Is anyone else disappointed that David Miliband's parents never had a son called Steve?
