Des Browne tipped to replace Jacqui Smith


Preparations are said to be underway in Downing Street to replace Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary should she fail to quell the ongoing media onslaught over her alleged role in the latest blunder by the Home Office and the subsequent cover-up that followed.

If she does resign, Des Browne is expected to move to the Home Office and Ed Miliband is being tipped for the Defence Secretary's job. God help our brave servicemen and women.

Jacqui Smith will make a statement to the House at 3.30pm. Watch it via Parliament TV.

It won't be Des Browne, Pundit. That would be one Scot too many.

My money would be on John Denham.

Denham has too much of an independent streak in him. And from what I've seen from Brown since he took over, he prefers 'yes men'. Not that it makes much difference. With the latest scandal over immigration and more scandals to come, I think Labour have blown it. The Tories could sneak in next time.
