The Culture sec now evens favourite to be next cabinet exit
Above are the revised prices from Ladbrokes on who will be the next cabinet exit. The market was suspended yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morning Hunt was at 50/1.

I’m not attracted by the evens price. Cameron will do everything he can to keep Hunt in place but he might have to bow to the inevitable.
A telling feature for me was that the emails sent by Hunt’s now ex-SPAD, Andy Smith, did not go through the DCMS system. That suggests that he had doubts.
We shall see.
