An interesting feature on the BBC - Over the last 10 years, what's become of Tony Blair's first cabinet?
Three quarters of them are now out of the cabinet, and of those who remain only Blair, Chancellor (and soon to be Prime Minister) Brown and Deputy Prime Minister Prescott still have jobs they had back in May of '97 (and of course though he's kept the Deputy Leadership, Prescott's lost his key ministerial positions). It'll be interesting to see which of these people assume key roles in the Brown cabinet. Two of those who've held on since the start of Blair's term, Leader of the House of Commons Jack Straw and Trade and Industry Secretary Alistair Darling, look set to continue hold prominent places in the next cabinet. Oh, and if you are interested, Blair's current cabinet is here.
