Foreign Secretary David Miliband has accepted the European foreign policy minister role he was tipped for, a Labour source told politics.co.uk.
Miliband could announce his new position within the next fortnight, triggering a by-election in his South Shields constituency seat which might be contested by Business Secretary Peter Mandelson, who could even take over leadership of the party after what is widely anticipated to be a dire election result for Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Labour.
Now the Lisbon treaty has been ratified by the Czech government, EU officials want the new Foreign Minister post and that of the presidency filled in the next month, to be operational by 1st January.
