New crew at the NIO

I should have looked more closely at the full cabinet shuffle details when I noted them. As the BBC have reported Angela Smith and Shaun Woodward are shuffling out of the NIO to be replaced by Maria Eagle MP and Paul Goggins MP.. there doesn’t seem to be any indication of where, or if, they will be re-assigned.. perhaps the [former] Chair of the Organised Crime Task Force’s previous attempts to clarify his comments after the fact have contributed to his move? Just a thought.. Update Or perhaps not.. Shaun Woodward has been shuffled to Culture, Media and Sport, and Angela Smith to the new department of Communities and Local Government.
