ALL CHANGE

Shortly after returning from the Summer hols, David Cameron has undertaken a reshuffle of his cabinet.  Why a reshuffle I hear you cry, why not just a shuffle? One shuffle is not enough, it has to be an iterative process, as more and more potential candidates turn down job offers. To give but a few examples, indicating the quality of this whole exercise, Jeremy Hunt has taken over the Health portfolio following his previous success of hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth, Grant Shapps, whoever he is, becomes co-chairman of the Tory Party and Ken Clarke, one of the few Tories with real experience and gravitas, is put in charge of nothing in particular.  Goves keeps Education which should portend the end of civilisation as we know it.  The whole sad enterprise has been likened to rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.  Wrong!  Deckchairs do have a use.
