Who is going to get what job in the new cabinet?
I suspect that most will keep the job they had in shadow cabinet, but there's at least a health secretary job up for grabs...

Starmer has done his job got Labour in power, he's outlived his usefulness, Rayner/Blair/Unions will be calling the shots now.... Starmer is toast, they'll pick who they want and where, with Big Gob Rayner with a plum job. ... poor old andrea he still doesn't get it .... LOL

Given the dearth of Government experience on the Labour benches I cant see many changes from the existing shadow roles - what would be the point of putting in an inexperienced MP who has not been following the brief for their particular department.

I think you're probably right, and agree that would be a good thing. There's at least 2 positions though, in addition to Health, also Culture. |

Well culture is not that important, you can chuck anyone in that department without it mattering one way or the other. Health is important but Wes Streeting leads on that so all you are looking for is a junior to him - so shouldn't be that hard to find someone with an interest/experience of the subject. |

Stop being naive andrea, everyone but you and Starmer know he was just used to get them in to power, because between them he was the best chance they had.
Angie and Co. have already set their plans to get shut of Starmer, he'll have a vote of no confidence within the year, then Angie will be hoping she's in with a shot at top job, you don't need a crystal ball FFS.

Ugh, apologies, you're correct, not health, work and pensions. |

Predictably, there are many female members in the new cabinet, perhaps even a majority, I haven't counted. But surprisingly very few ethnics, just the two as far as I can see.
Bound to be a bone of contention going forward, especially since there a appears to be a schism developing between the Labour oarty and its historically pliant and loyal Muslim following over Palestine.

Some surprising non-MP appointments by Starmer.
Richard Hermer KC becomes Attorney General.
Sir Patrick Vallance becomes Minister for Science.
James Timpson OBE becomes Minister for Prisons, Probation and Parole.
Selecting people based on their knowledge and experience………

Selecting people based on their knowledge and experience……… I dont quite see what the point is - how are you going to hold them to account when they fail? (or perhaps that is the point). It's bad enough with great swathes of the public sector being hived off into unaccountable Quangos without making Ministerial appointments unaccountable as well. |

It's bad enough with great swathes of the public sector being hived off into unaccountable Quangos without making Ministerial appointments unaccountable as well. Don't they get a ''Lord'' title to go with the new job as they aren't MPs? Think that's how Mandy was able to be brought back by the previous Labour government edit Just looked Timpson up - he's the current boss of the key cutters and shoe reheelers Timpsons . Seems his only prisons ''experience'' is employing some ex inmates so it's a strange appointment imo A bottle of champagne plus the day off on your birthday; free breakfast before 9am and subsidised chef lunches; a £1,000 Weekly Lottery, a state of the art gym and free-to-use luxury holiday homes. Just some of the benefits of working for James Timpson OBE, the sixth generation leader of the family firm.............
Could the bag of carrots approach advocated by Timpson get the UK back to work? He certainly thinks so.
If you know anything about Timpson, which was founded in 1865, it will be that apart from getting the public out of key and shoe repair sticky wickets, they have a policy of employing ex-offenders; something that James pioneered after he became the chief executive in 2002.
“People think everyone who works for Timpson has spent time in prison, but it’s really only one in nine,” he says.
