Power has now deserted Keir Starmer as the - horse trading starts for cabinet positions. The key role is chancellor and my money is on Yvette Cooper, she has spent time there - when Gordon Brown was prime minister and has a good background in economics. She would be a safe pair of hands and moreover would be the second woman in that role after Rachel Reeves, who will be demoted. Other names mentioned are: Pat Macfadden, Wes Streeting and Ed Miliband. I see Wes Streeting, going to the Foreign Office, where his diplomatic skills will come to the fore. So the Snakes and Ladders of politics - has a lot more excitement to come.
