"The minister in question advised the Chancellor not to bring Stephen Byers back in to the Cabinet, and generally discussed the prospects of other Cabinet ministers mentioned by name.So the question is, who was it? Bremner is keeping schtum, but he also said he "wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed on the Internet at some stage". Ne'er a truer word spoken.
There is wider point here of course, why was this person advising the Chancellor about who he should and should not bring back into the Cabinet? Does this represent a concession of power by Blair to Brown? Might this explain why Brown has never been fired in a re-shuffle himself?
Update: The Sunday Times says they've heard the tape and it's Margaret Beckett.

How Rory Bremner spoofed ministers
'I was amazed by the factionalism it exposed,' Bremner told The Observer. 'She seemed pleased to be rung and was almost quite coquettish, saying at one point "I wouldn't tell this to anyone else".'
ps tax discredits - Pompous Red Dawn's survival defies rational thought. She must have something on Gord!
