The Guardian are tracking the reshuffle rumours

Worth keeping an eye on this article today as it gets updated. These are some fairly current thoughts:

"2.40pm: The word from Downing Street is that the reshuffle is going to be wideranging. The latest rumours doing the rounds are:

• Home secretary is likely to go to the Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward. The ex-Tory is a good communicator (he was John Major's chief spin doctor before the Tories' unexpected victory in 1992), and Brown trusts him.

• The post of communities secretary is expected to be offered to John Denham, the universities secretary. He is the only member of the current cabinet who resigned over the Iraq war, and he has huge credibility in the Labour party.

• Chancellor: despite intense speculation that the job was definitely going to Ed Balls, it's not so clear today.

Darling's aides won't comment on the rumours that he is refusing to move to the Home Office, which probably means they are true.

David Miliband does not want to leave the Foreign Office, and the Home Office is about the only other place Darling could have been moved without suffering abject humiliation. Now it is looking as though he could stay.

• Foreign secretary: Forget the speculation about the job going to Lord Mandelson. Westminster sources reckon Miliband will stay put.

• Northern Ireland secretary: Peter Hain is very keen on a cabinet comeback. If Woodward goes, Hain could get his old job back.

Other candidates for promotion:

• Margaret Beckett could return to a full cabinet job. Brown has lost two women from the cabinet and is in need of a safe pair of hands.

• Lady Vadera, a formidable Brown ally, is tipped for promotion.

• Liam Byrne, the Cabinet Office minister, would like a department of his own.

• Jim Knight, the schools minister, is highly rated."
