A regular correspondent - a man of taste and style - suggests Jeremy Hunt may have more time to spend perfecting his Lambada before the Olympics, and that I should get ahead of the game by opening a book on his replacement at the DCMS.
He offers Damian Green (desperate to get away from those Heathrow immigration queues); Grant Shapps (why else that strange profile in the Grauniad ?) and Cheeky Monkey Eddie Vaizey.
A second missive notes that, by this stage into Government (23 months) Blair had reshuffled more than 6 Cabinet ministers. Cameron may welcome the opportunity to reshuffle before the summer of fun, and could bring back either David Laws or Liam Fox. The LibDems of course will want to see their numbers maintained if not increased around the Cabinet table. "And the appointment must surely be made with an eye on the Leveson report, due in the autumn. No point putting into DCMS somebody who will be covered in ordure when LJL produces his findings.
We live in interesting times !"

The best thing about Grant Shapps is that his cousin is Mick Jones of the Clash.
