Moving the deckchairs

[pdq1]

It seems the messengers of Cameron's policies have either been demoted or given the chop.

The Transport minister has only held the post for 10 months and was against the 3rd runway at Heathrow as was Cameron. Is this policy now dead and expansion is likely?
Or was it because she turned down Richard Branson's bid for the West Coast Mainline? Or was to do with HS2?

On Health Lansley has been a poor communicator and has failed to get the new NHS across to staff or the public. Is that because the policy is flawed or would it lose the Tories votes?

Or has nothing changed in policy terms just the deckchairs being moved?

Why is it called a re-shuffle .
Surely it is a shuffle in this instance and the next time , will be a re-shuffle

Well spotted Bazile!

This must explain Hunt's role http://www.thepoke.co...meron-murder-someone/

Hunt was moved at the request of newscasters who could not say "the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt" without fluffing their lines.

This has surely got to be one of the dullest (re)shuffles in recent political history. Several grey, uninteresting and in many cases incompetent ministers replaced with several grey, etc etc. Largely to do with deckchair movement than policy change I suspect.
Wasn't Jeremy Hunt (it says something about him that he's best known for a Radio 4 presenter's unfortunate spoonerism) the chap who questioned the NHS being included in the Olympics Opening ceremony? Not a very propitious choice perhaps.
It has been noted that Justine Greening has been kicked off the Heathrow runway, but Cameron is also allegedly still opposed to a third one, and he's still (just about) PM, so hopefully that isn't the sign of a less welcome U-turn to come.

And dear of George Osborne is still trying to come to terms with the Olympic crowd booing him. Ahh Diddums

Sorry, must be politically correct - George Gideon Oliver Osborne to give him his full name.

Its just mid-term musical chairs. All governments do it.
