This from the BBC News, who will be the next defence sec???
Charles Clarke has been axed as home secretary as Tony Blair seeks to regain the initiative after a night of losses in English local elections.
He will be replaced by defence secretary John Reid. Margaret Beckett is the new Foreign Secretary, with Jack Straw becoming Commons leader. John Prescott will stay as deputy prime minister but loses his department.
At least we've got rid of that w
r Reid!
