Is IDS about to be given his marching orders?

I’ve no doubt that Cameron is under pressure to put more women in cabinet roles, as the Tories have relied on women voters since Maggie Thatcher. Fester McLie has a reputation every bit as bad as RTU, so this would seem to rule her out. On the other hand, my guess is that as you hear less of her than her master, the Tories will rely on obscurity to promote her, hoping that there will be less opposition simply because fewer people will have heard of her.

There is a rumour going round this morning that David Cameron is planning a reshuffle next week and that Iain Duncan Smith will be removed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and replaced with Esther McVey. Is it true? Who knows. It seems to have come from an overheard conversation on a train, so could be bollocks, but I guess we’ll find out next week…
