You really could not make this up Blair soap opera stuff up! Clearly the very thought of Gordon Brown taken over made Blair break into a sweat and hardened his determination until someone other than Brown could be lined up to take over.
It's funny but my childhood recollections of when Margaret Thatcher reshuffled were that she really went for large scale changes. Again, it may be rose tinted spectacles but I am sure we never had only one Chancellor and two Foreign Secretaries in Thatcher's first two terms. But there we go, suppose it is the price of making deals in restaurants! (Of course having checked my facts I note thee Conservative Chancellors were in post for approx four years, with the exception of Nigel Lawson who was longer. As for Foreign Secretaries there were 6, including the short time John Major had the job)
Long day at work today. Had three meetings to attend; Conservative association, Citizen's Advice Bureau and Surbiton Neighbourhood meeting. The Neighbourhood meeting went on interminably. There must be something that can be done to speed these things up. If the length of meeting was commensurate with the amount of power we have then that would be fine but our power is pretty limited.
