Following the trend set by Iain Dale, let's see how I do in predicting Cameron's reshuffle. I wonder whether he will reach out to those outside parliament like GB.
DC - my phone is always on - Europe Minister would be good. Better not hold my breath though.
It's over to you now to tell me where I'm wrong. It's more difficult than you think putting a Cabinet together... Trying to bring in new faces means that you inevitably leave talented people out. One saving grace is that I'm not doing it for real. Oh well - here goes...
Chancellor - George Osborne - a move is unlikely
Foreign Affairs - As one of our best orators, I would like to see William Hague annihilate Harriet Harman. Also, as one of the most popular MPs as far as the grassroots are concerned, he will be able to sell the reforms to the Party and build upon Francis Maude's excellent work. So, I think Sir Malcolm Rifkind should be our Shadow Foreign Secretary.
Home Affairs - I would like David Davis to take up the helm at Defence. Home Affairs should go to Chris Grayling
Justice - Theresa Villiers
Health - Liam Fox
Chairman of the Party & Leader of the Commons - William Hague
Environment - Alan Duncan
Defence - David Davis
DFID - Caroline Spelman
Education - Michael Gove
Higher Education - Julie Kirkbride
Work and Pensions - Philip Hammond
Transport - Francis Maude
Trade and Industry - Grant Shapps
Attorney General - Dominic Grieve or Shailesh Vara
Communities - Theresa May
Chief Whip - Patrick McLoughlin
Northern Ireland - Lord Trimble (Lords) and David Lidington (Commons)
Wales - Cheryl Gillan / David Jones
Scotland - David Mundell
Chief Secretary to the Treasury - Nick Herbert
DCMS - Ed Vaizey
Leader in the Lords - Tom Strathclyde
Policy Chief and Duchy of Lancaster - Oliver Letwin
Social Exclusion - Iain Duncan Smith
Housing - Maria Miller
Olympics - Adam Afriyie
Children, Youth Justice - Justine Greening
Africa, Asia & UN - Andrew Mitchell

You were remarkably close - pretty much all the right notes (even the ones beyond the hearing of most people), but not necessarily in the right order as Eric Morcambe might say.
Made me think..the list is quite long.. What happened to the small shadow cabinet?
