I suppose I'm still here, but I wouldn't say my blog is thriving. I'm going for a different approach in 2008. My website will be more of a rolling journal than a traditional blog.
So, Shaun Woodward is to lose his CAbinet job? Or is the post from the Telegraph blog (below) from dopey Rosa Prince motivated by malice? She used to slave away under the Mirror's political editor Oonagh Blackman who now works as, you guessed it, a special adviser to Mr Woodward!
A sticky end for some ministers

My prediction for 2008
It used to be a tradition among cynical hacks to place bets on which celebrities would check into the big rehab clinic in the sky over the coming 12 months.
Will Shaun Woodward bite the dust?
Political journalists have their own form of the game - guessing which ministerial careers will come to a sticky end.
For a while, James Purnell was front runner - young, single, photogenic in a propensity to be photoshopped into events he wasn't present at kind of way.
Others tipped Ruth Kelly, guessing (hoping) she might flounce out of Cabinet in a religious rage over the upcoming Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.
My own tip for the first member of Gordon Brown's Cabinet to bite the dust in 2008 - Shaun Woodward.
Appointing a former Tory might have seemed like a good idea back in the summer, when Mr Brown was feeling all inclusive and big tent, but my spies say the PM has come to regret his decision.
Deeply tribal, with a gut hatred of all things Conservative, I hear Gordo has become increasingly irritated with Woodward's "insights" into life under John Major - hardly relishing the comparison.
And Number 10 insiders are giggling up their sleeves at the millionaire's boasts that he has been asked to help run the General Election campaign.
Rumour is the PM will take advantage of the disquiet over Des Browne's dual role as Scotland and Defence Secretary to create a new Secretary of State for the Nations -thereby politely removing the Northern Ireland
post from the turncoat Woodward.

Indeed, and hasn't Oonagh's old friend Kevin Maguire also stuck the knife into Woodward recently?
