Just what is David Miliband plotting? One story doing the rounds is that he is already drawing up plans for his first Cabinet - with former Health Secretary Alan Milburn as Chancellor.
But friends of the Foreign Secretary have denied this - apparently - and claimed it is a "smear" invented by Downing Street to make him look treacherous.
A third version of events has it that he is actually conspiring with Culture Secretary James Purnell and others to walk out of the Cabinet if a reshuffle takes place in September, potentially plunging the Government into meltdown.
Meanwhile, Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, has been taking up Pilates.The message? He's not going to retire on "health grounds".
This is politics as a game of Chinese whispers. As I said before, the longer this goes on, the more I find myself sympathising with the Prime Minister.
