There is an increasingly forlorn feeling around the shadow business secretary Alan Duncan.
The Telegraph has a senior Conservative saying MPs involved in the Tories' regional visits programme are the ones who will be included in a new shadow government.
The piece claims Duncan ruled himself out by going skiing instead and incurred Cameron's anger, but that's just hot air.
If Cameron wanted to get rid of Duncan, he wanted to do it before Christmas – the ski trip is neither here nor there.
The Tories might be a new party, but if there is one thing they’ve become expert at over they years it is manoeuvring against each other.
Clarke is waiting.

There is a growing sense of uncertainty surrounding shadow business secretary Alan Duncan within Conservative Party circles. Reports suggest that MPs participating in the party’s regional visits programme are more likely to be considered for roles in a reshuffled shadow government. Although claims have surfaced that Duncan’s absence due to a ski trip may have displeased party leadership, some argue this is not the real reason behind any potential changes. Observers believe that if leadership intended to remove him, the decision would have been made earlier, rather than being linked to a single incident. Overall, the situation highlights the ongoing internal manoeuvring and strategic positioning that has long been characteristic of party politics.
