Hopefully the country will be sorted out soon, especially Iraq and Afghanistan. :) you’re right he does look like ernie.

I'm glad that Mad Pat's gone, but the promotion of the <a href="http://sjhoward.co.uk/archive/2006/06/24/correction-miliblog-did-not-cost-36000" rel="nofollow">Miliblogger</a> is astounding: He's a first-rate idiot who's spent the last few weeks insulting Mr Brown, and still ends up with a pretty top job. Why anyone thinks he's a 'rising star' is beyond me. The loss of Baroness Amos is a bad thing - she talks a lot of sense, most of the time. And note that Blair's burying bad news to the last, news of his latest <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6249300.stm" rel="nofollow">questioning in a criminal trial</a> coming out the day of the reshuffle. It's not all bad though. I'm relatively happy to see Jack Straw at Justice, Alan Johnson should be pretty good at Health, Jacqui Smith should make for an interesting Home Secretary (not sure whether she'll be good or bad), and the lack of a Deputy PM can only be a good thing. But one thing above all strikes me about this reshuffle: Doesn't <a href="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42437000/jpg/_42437000_edmiliband203.jpg" title="Ernie" rel="nofollow">Ed Miliband</a> look remarkably like <a href="http://www.gummylump.com/files/product/a_1226.bert-hand-puppet.jpg" title="Ed Miliband" rel="nofollow">Ernie</a>?

Hopefully Alan Johnson can repair what damage she has caused, he certainly has his job cut out.
