IT is notable that Caroline Flint is not on that list. This, I think, is what led to here resigning in the middle of Brown's press conference.
That was delicious wasn't it!
It is interesting to note that Lord Mandelson has a title usually given to Deputy Prime Ministers (First Secretary of State) and one usually given to the Leader of the Lords (Lord President of the Council). Baroness Royall doesn't appear to actually have an official role.
