Jacqui Smith is rumoured to be leaving the cabinet.
Downing Street are calling it pure speculation but the BBC are saying that it has been confirmed by Westminster sources.
Did she jump or was she pushed?
Make no mistake this is a serious day for the Prime Minister.The home secretary is one of the grand offices of state and to be forced out either by the expenses scandal or maybe pure incompetence is a devastating blow.
On top of this three more Labour MP's have announced that they are stepping down.One David Chayter as a result of expenses,the others Beverley Hughes and Patricia Hewitt look like they are deserting a sinking ship.
It seems strange for both of these to announce their stepping down during this most difficult week for Labour.
Harriet Harman is currently on the World at One trying to plaster over the cracks and not doing a very good job.
Now it seems that the door is open for Ed Balls to get the keys to No 11 and Alistair Darling to go to the Home Office.
