Who will can replace Clarke?
(Hint: There's a very short list of likely contenders)
Bloggerheads - A message to all 'wobbly' MPs: ignore the puppet show, look at the strings (November 08, 2005): Even if we depart from the central issue of terrorism, you need to acknowledge that the only people Blair can appoint to his cabinet or count on in the pursuit of his reforms have to have backed him over the war on Iraq then and continue to back him to this day. And anyone who can do that with a smile on their face is duplicitous, stupid or woefully misinformed. It's no longer a case of the best man or woman for the job.
Chicken Yoghurt - Save Charles Clarke: I just had a nasty thought. If Charlie Two Lunches decides to spend more time with the sweet trolley over the foreign prisoner affair, who would replace him? Step forward John Reid.
(check out the comments on that latter link... well worth a read)
UPDATE - Stephen Pollard: The story I am being told is that, even as the PM prepared to back his Home Secretary at PMQs this morning, the feeling in Number 10 was that today will be Charles Clarke's last day in office and that a reshuffle was already being pepared for. Alan Johnson will be Home Secretary. You read it here first.
