A prediction

[undyingking]

John Cruddas to join the Cabinet in next week's reshuffle, in a significant role. You saw it here first¹. A year ago, it would have been unthinkable -- a Bateman cartoon made flesh. But with the current financio-political situation, the time could just be right for a gesture that reaches out to Labour's base, adds some support to the contention that they are actually concered about ordinary people's welfare, etc. I'm not sure I would expect any other prominent left-wingers to be brought in -- but Alan Johnson might get promoted I guess, as he must surely be the heir presumptive now that David Milliband appears to have shot his bolt?

1 Unless you saw it somewhere else first. Please don't tell me that this theory has already been all over the papers.

Heh, sitting just above a line saying "He also savaged rebel MPs who have been calling for a leadership contest."

We love you Subversive Caption GUy!
