Rachel Reeves and David Lammy have been sacked by Andy Burnham as the Prime Minister begins appointing his Cabinet.

rafichagran - I've reported your post because it quotes the post which has been deleted by HQ and HQ missed it. I don't need to say anymore but am looking forward to AR big the Cabiet.

What degree did Angela Rayner get?

She doesn’t have a degree but then John Major didn’t have one either.
Am not sure why this is relevant.

Rafichagran, upthread, said Rayner had a gained a degree in later life.

There will be lots of people with degrees, myself included, who won’t be capable of being PM 😂

I just want to put in a good word for David Lammy. When Keir Starmer made his resignation speech last week, David Lammy stood outside in Downing Street to support him.
(Unlike Rachel Reeves)

Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary.

Healey. Puts the voracious, speculating media in its place for getting it entirely wrong. Safe pair of hands. Devolution friendly. 



I like Healey for this job was not enamoured with Mahmoud or Miliband.

I thought they were all rather too faced, tbh. As Kemi put 400 knives in Keir’s back. ABs not taking any chances 😅

I think you were right the first time although they have been feeble attempts.

It has been suggested that both Reeves and Starmer were offered jobs by Burnham but both said no thanks, understandably in the circumstances. Lammy was a safe deputy but didn't get a chance to do anything, so who for DP?
Milliband maybe in charge of housing as well, a big job.

Perhaps we are looking at chancellor, home office and foreign office. But which one for which job?

Hopefully he won't bring back half a brain cell Angela Rayner back.

What a rude stupid comment - and you’re going to be disappointed.

Loyalty is a mistake if you are ambitious.
I don't care who does what frankly, as we still have a Socialist Government who will tax to spend.

Governments of every political persuasion tax and spend; that's how they fund public services. The relevant question isn't whether there should be tax, but whether the overall system is fairer and more efficient. If a land value tax replaced existing taxes like council tax and stamp duty rather than increasing the total tax take, then it's a reform of how we tax, not necessarily more tax.
