A British friend sends along some news about Gordon Brown's new cabinet, and subcabinet:
... "The former United Nations deputy secretary-general and one-time spokesman for Kofi Annan, Sir Mark Malloch Brown, is granted a peerage in order to take up the post of minister for Africa, Asia and the UN. He will not have Cabinet rank but will attend Cabinet meetings."
Interesting advantages of not having a Constitution: "The Prime Minister's spokesman said Mr Brown did not see the need for a Deputy Prime Minister."
