While the party leaders argued about Ken Clarke in the Commons yesterday the big beast himself was noticeably absent.
In fact he hasn't been around Westminster at all since before Christmas.
Being the forward outspoken sort, could it be the Notts MP has been advised to keep a low profile while reshuffle fever consumes hacks?
Either way Cameron needs to get on and do it if he is going to.
All the speculation can't be encouraging his current shadow cabinet much.
Also, by letting rumours fly the leader risks cornering himself.
If he decides not to go ahead with Clarke it'll look like he backed down to complaints from the right.

Scientific studies are an activity of little techniques, developing over the years or decades, pricing millions, and demanding painstaking work carried out by substantial teams of scientists and clinicians.
