The Lammy as Foreign secretary
Stature, dignity and knowledge
Not sure if serious..
Labour are here to restore trust, competency, stability and our credibility on the world stage so whom better than David Lammy as foreign secretary to help oversee MI6, GCHQ and our foreign relations ?
Not sure if serious…

It's seats that matter.
Oh wait, 52% needed a second go and I clearly remember 37% of the total being mentioned. Labour did not even get 20% of the the total electorate.

We could have another go next week and call it the people's vote.

Bercow may have availability, he's a part-time professor of politics apparently. The optics may not be good however after he was suspended from the Labour Party back in 2022 following reports of him bullying staff.

Starmer: I'm appointing you Secretary of State for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities

Rayner: I will be Secretary of State for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities

Rayner: I'm not doing levelling up though

I went to the GP this morning and was seen 3 minutes early.

Interesting.

She wishes 'all' her 'brilliant' colleagues well, low single figures (being generous) hardly warrants 'all'.

They’ve never had rolls in the Cabinet - she should look in the all expenses paid canteen.

I support this u-turn although he did it as LOTO too - Starmer is a busy man and I'm glad he is using private jets to save time - but two flights to the same place seems excessive. Do they not get on?
