They make me blog against my wishes.

Why would Brown even want Campbell in his cabinet, anyway? The man's been made an effective laughing stock in the last year or so and, whilst he was a decent enough spokesman on Foreign Affairs, he could never be a feasible Foreign Secretary who would command any sort of respect. He's long past it, and the sooner his party realise that, the better.

It seems to me that Brown's idea of 'reaching out' to create a 'broad Cabinet' (sounds like a catalogue description) seems to have been created entirely to destabilise the LibDems by making the public associate them with the Lib/Lab pacts of the mid 90s and late 70s. They'll be haemorraging the non-IDS/Howard Tories and the non-Blair Labourites by the bucketload at this rate...
