the word is that Gordon Brown will reshuffle the Cabinet on Friday as the local election results come in. The thinking is that this will distract attention from the results, allow Labour to claim that the European election results on Sunday are a verdict on the past Cabinet not this one and, most crucially, to make it harder for any plot to get off the ground.
James goes on to say though that even this will be enveloped in chaos as
Friday will be one of those days when no one knows what is going to happen. It could end with Brown having pulled off a reshuffle and stymied the plotters or with Ministers resigning on air and saying Labour needs a new leader.
