Blair to Reshuffle Cabinet This Week

[Khephra]

LONDON -- Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday he would reshuffle his senior ministerial team later this week and tried to play down new speculation about a power struggle at the heart of his government.

Rumors of a feud between Blair and his Treasury chief Gordon Brown have persisted for years, and political commentators closely watch changes to the Cabinet lineup for signs that the balance of influence is shifting.

On Monday, Work and Pensions Secretary Andrew Smith, a key Brown ally, resigned. He said he wanted to devote more time to his family and his constituency.

Talk is now rife in political circles that Blair plans to promote his close friend and fellow modernizer Alan Milburn to party chairman.

2. IT IS TRIAL BALLOOOOOON!!!!

If solving Blair's problems is as easy as getting rid of the people under him, then Bush ought to be able to do it, too. Poor widdle innocent things--surrounded by malevolent usurpers on the left and disloyal incompetents on the right!
