The previous administration had it's faults, but when they came in in 1997, the new Cabinet had been shadowing for at least 2 years and had a fair idea of what they wanted to do, plus what they couldn't do, and some fairly detailed knowledge of the subject. Unfortunately it didn't last.

Miller the Killer - Disabled Minister - GONE. Yay!!!!

Well Lansey's done the damage anyway but how Hunt will handle the department God knows. What came out of the Murdoch affair was a picture of an ineffectual man hanging onto the coat tails of the likes of Osborne running round telling tails.



A sad day for this country when someone of such low calibre can be given this job.

Does CallMeDave actually [iwant[/i to lose the next election by a landslide? The appointments at Health and Justice are farcical.

Clarke becomes Minister without Portfolio while Osborne remains Minister without a fooking clue

Jezza should have stuck with exporting marmalade to Japan.



He was fooking hopeless at that as well.

Any suggestions from your Lib/Dem party?

There're not [imy[/i LibDems any more than Labour were [imy[/i Labour when I voted for them.



Having said that, just about anyone else would be an improvement over Hunt and Grayling. A Health Secretary who believes in magic (homeopathy) and is anti-choice, plus a Justice Secretary who's anti-equality. You couldn't make it up.

Isn't David "expenses scandal" Laws supposed to be coming back? If so, I hope there is a public uprising.

Junior education minister. £56,000.

Which, ironically enough, is almost exactly the amount he swindled on expenses.

Forgive me mate.



I thought for one, stupid, absurd moment, that you honestly believed ministerial positions were delegated on the tenure of the relevant candidates capabilities.



As I'm sure you're probably aware it's a lot more to do with 'toethelineabilityitis'.
