Reshuffle to the Right Like Dave Does Reshuffle Axing After Summer Chillaxing on Facebook

Butch Dave Wields the Axe
It was back to school with a bang this week as Dave announced his first major reshuffle. Jeremy Hunt said "merci!" as he was rewarded with the health brief for his flawless handling of the BSkyB deal, leaving poor old Andrew Lansley looking spectacularly gloomy. Then it was time to Say-eeda goodbye to Baroness Warsi, though the furious Minister forMea Culpas was given a pay rise to soften the blow. Warsi was replaced as Tory chairman by Grant Shapps - even if Michael Green's alter ego immediately got tied up in knots - while new roving Minister without Portfolio Ken Clarke roved over to the Oval andDavid Laws snuck back into the fray. He was lucky not to be reshuffled to Pentonville...

Boris was never going to stay out of the limelight for long. London's mayor stood up for his Bojovian backers as the PM gave himself some third runway leeway by ditching Justine Greening for the Miner. Elsewhere there were a raft of encouraging junior ministerial changes, with a grand total of 29 ministers given the sack. Guido was particularly intrigued by some interesting manoeuvres from Andrew "Thrasher" Mitchell. They're calling him Fifty Shades...

Aside from the reshuffle Guido exposed a partisan child poverty ruse by Save the Children's ex-Brown spin doctor CEO James Forsyth, with the charity going on to admit that they used actors in their guilt-trip campaign ad. Ed Miliband then finally surfaced to announce Labour's new policy of "predistribution not redistribution". And he says Gordon was crackers...

This just in - the Prime Minister's Spokesman has resigned to go to the IMF - a move we blogged back in May and it was rubbished all round by our rivals. We're not gloating... much.
