Alan Duncan sent to prison

I suppose Alan Duncan had it coming to him. Getting demoted to Prisons spokesman will hardly have been one of his objectives at the start of the year, but he seems to be taking it with good grace, which doesn't surprise me at all. I have a lot of time for him. He knows he has screwed up. He knows Cameron had to do something. One thing I am sure of is he will be back and in a cabinet job after the next election. Despite his recent cock-up (no pun intended), we need people of his calibre at the top of government.

I think Mr Cameron has played this well. He got Mr Duncan out of the way and into a junior position until after the election.

What ammunition does the BBC have when a gaffe they would love to replay until the polls close was made by a junior spokesman rather than a member of the shadow cabinet?

My best guess is that he will have to wait until the first shuffle, but he is obviously cabinet material.
