Lisa Nandy’s Culture Department is facing the axe in Downing Street’s civil service efficiency drive, throwing her Cabinet future into doubt.
The move would bring to an end 33 years of a standalone government department for arts and cultural matters, amounting to a major Whitehall overhaul.
It would also leave Ms Nandy, the Culture Secretary who once stood against Sir Keir for the Labour leadership, out of a job.
Not that anything is likely to improve with Weird Ed's department still dragging us into the mire and Rachel from Accounts making sure we can't afford mires anyway.
By gum, it's a grey old day when we can't rejoice and treat ourselves to an extra bit of dark chocolate at the loss of Lisa Nandy and her Culture Department.

In the interests of the economy a ration of dark chocolate will only be issued to Party members of good standing and who support our Leader.
I am so disqualified.
Will it actually be axed, I wonder, or just continue as part of some other department?
Probably Starmer needs a more reliable person to sell the next iteration of the BBC scam. In any case, I don't know what the dumpy daughter of an immigrant Marxist academic has got to do with my culture.
DJ - fortunately, those of us who are disqualified may as well scoff it while we can so I'm off for a bit more.
Peter - bound to be part of some other department, they will want everything to continue as before. It gets rid of Nandy without having to sack her.
Sam - I think you are right, dumpy Lisa can't sell anything and she could never sell whatever BBC scam is in the pipeline.
