Yvette Cooper moves office
Following today's scandalous resignation of Peter Hain, the once highly respected and influential British Politician, It was also announced that Yvette Cooper, the current MP for housing and head of the newly created Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) will be moving office to the become chief secretary at the Treasury.
You may remember that Ms. Cooper replaced former Deputy PM John Prescott for housing last year after Tony Blair created the DCLG (or something like that, I don't really keep up to date with too much politics). Anyway the DCLG has been instrumental in providing critical and informative housing data. Ms Cooper will be replaced by Caroline Flint, who is currently Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform

Sorry, I had to top reading at "highly respected and influential" - was laughing too hard!
well, I think he used to fight against South African apartheid in the 70's, that's not too bad, I think he deserves some respect for that
