Out like Flint

So much for my prediction that Caroline Flint would be in cabinet by the end of the day! Despite her public oath of loyalty and disavowing of her links with Blears and Smith last night, Brown declined to bump her up to the top table and it looks like she's decided to walk instead rather than stay on as Europe Minister.

Will be interesting to hear whether or not she was tipped a nod that she was going to be in the cabinet and quit feeling she has been betrayed.

Who replaces her? Glenys Kinnock. I shit you not!
