  A snippet from an article in the Guardian on the `Reshuffle`
  
  ``The question that Cameron and Clegg cannot afford not to ask themselves is whether to move George Osborne. "It will be personally terrible and I shrink from it," Macmillan wrote in his diary before sacking his chancellor in 1962. Half a century on, Cameron will be thinking the same thing, as other prime ministers have also done since. Most, like Blair, persuade themselves that things will all come right somehow. Sometimes they are right.
  
  Yet if Cameron thinks Labour can yet be stopped in 2015 then the case for Osborne to go is daring but strong. Change the policy. Change the chancellor. Put Ken Clarke or Vince Cable (or both) into the Treasury. Make Osborne party chairman. It might make all the difference in reviving confidence in the coalition. It is increasingly hard to see what else might do so.``
