Spot The Story

David Cameron has effectively offered the position of Education Secretary to a Labour peer who was Schools Minister under Tony Blair. He has done this publicly, in the Daily Telegraph on Monday. He has not been rebuffed. But if you hear or read about this anywhere, then do please let me know.

  2. Well, he took his time! And anyway, the fact that the offer could seriously have been made is enough.

  3. For the avoidance of confusion, he's still a schools minister under Gordon Brown.

  4. Which makes Cameron's public offer all the more newsworthy, to say the least.
