An update to all those cabinet shuffle rumours.

All changes from earlier post are in red. Remember the rules. Names are put against position if

1. I read that the incumbent is staying in post
2. I read a person is tipped to get that job
3. No name against a position means I've not heard the incumbent is staying nor any other name been mentioned


It's all go isn't it?
