Reportedly it is Gordon's no 2 from the treasury, now does this mean the MOD will be forced even more to jump to the treasury tune or will some one with inside information on how the system works use that to bolster up the MOD?

It is The Rt.Hon.Des Browne.

See: http://www.epolitix.com/EN/News/200605/2ea6f4f7-e439-4294-b984-ff750bb5c97a.htm

A brief biog of him is available at: http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/des_browne/kilmarnock_and_loudoun

Never heard of him. Is this an attempt to put someone in that we don't know enough about to have a pop at? :roll:

We'll pretty quickly find out - new CDS, new SoS = time for Brown to play his favourite game of 'Screw the British Armed Forces'

The Beckett has got the job, its a new ploy in place of Gun Boat diplomacy, one look at the ugliest woman in the world will frighten off the opposition. :lol:

Nice to see that Two Jags also got a kick up the arris. That is probably the ONLY sensible thing that Blair has ever done.

 

[Not_a_boffin]

OK - it's not that harridan Blears. (thanks God!).

Is it just me or does Des Browne look like Jonathon King in a dodgy wig??

Being thoroughly non-PC, then, the Foreign Sec of UK and the Sec of State of USA will both be women. Hope their cycles don't coincide! And I don't mean 'bikes'.


Do I?
