I can believe that given his recent loyalty. Watch out for Alistair Darling to be Foreign Secretary. David Miliband could be highly placed as well as a reward for not running.
Douglas Alexander will be retained without a doubt. Some have suggested that Stephen Timms (present Chief Sec to the Treasury) will be promoted direct to Chancellor. Look for Ed Balls to get a seat in Cabinet in one of the "junior" Secretary of State positions. Dawn Primarolo has also been a pretty loyal lieutenant to Gordon for a number of years in the Treasury- Chief Secretary perhaps?
Deputy PM will obviously be dependent on the Deputy Leadership race, and whoever gets that will need a substantive brief. On that note, didn't Jon Cruddas say that whoever was Deputy Leader didnt necessarily have to be DPM or in the Cabinet?
Anybody have any ideas who Brown likes "upstairs"? I can't see him retaining Amos (or Falcolner for that matter), but I could be wrong.
