I'd have Martin Lewis in there somewhere in fact all ministers should have considerable experience in the field e.g.
Education - ex successful HT
Health - ex successful doctor or nurse
I think it would be interesting and helpful to have a cross party cabinet - oh yeah that's a coalition.
I would ban anyone who had not had a proper job and anyone who had not been to state school - that would be a start
Then I would start on the civil service and the House of Lords!
While I'm on a roll I would revise the hours for the House of Commons to make it 9-5 like the rest of us.

As Theresa May loves shoes, she could've as well as P.M, minister of Shoes, giving advice on what shoes to wear, maybe cut the tax on shoes for women , and so on,
