Hague, Lansley and Villiers could be forced out of Cameron's top team

That's if top Tory strategist, Francis Maude, gets his way. Maude, a man with more outside interests than Millets, recently invited a psychometric testing expert to a strategy meeting at Tory HQ. The Mail on Sunday has it on good authority that TV psychologist, Kris Murrin, is advising the Conservatives on how to weed out potential ministers with psychological or other flaws. (David Davis must have seen the writing on the wall.)

Anyway, three of Cameron's top team could be under threat if Maude introduces the 'sinister mind tests'. William Hague is said to have been down in the dumps (depressed) for some time due to 'personal problems'. Shadow Transport Secretary, Theresa Villiers, while regarded as competent by her colleagues is seen as slightly eccentric (bonkers) by some Tory backbenchers. And the notoriously quick-tempered shadow Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, is reported to have anger management issues (psycho).

Come to think of it, if Cameron doesn't want them sitting around his top table maybe Gordon Brown could utilise their talents? Depressed, bonkers, psycho - they'd get on like a house on fire.
