Speculation: Who Will Be In Burnham's Cabinet?

Sarnia

If we start a thread on incompetent MP's we are in for a very long day.

Yes I did think that as I posted . But felt the need to make the point that every Cabinet has incompetents. Point taken -interesting to think who I’d like to see. I hope he keeps not only some of the same people but I’d like to see some kept in same posts eg Home Secretary

As for RR, it’s evitable that there will be a new Chancellor. A crucial appointment whose main strength should be the ability to challenge the Treasury’s orthodoxy successfully

I think there were some very competent members of the Cabinet and wider Government. Not all of course but then we all remember Chris Grayling and Gavin Williamson ( for starters) so par for any PM’s course

I would like to see John Healey get a Cabinet job. He comes across as a decent and principled man, liked across all parties. Reeves has to go. I have never liked her but she really plumbed the depths on Monday when Sir Keir resigned. Instead of being in Downing Street, supporting the PM delivering his resignation speech, she was front and centre in Andy Burnham's selfie.

Starmer surrounded himself with his supporters without considering their competence for their positions. Hopefully, Burnham will have a better attitude.
Presumably he will have discussed all this before he agreed to stand in the by-election.

Angela Rayner ?
Yvette Cooper

Plus a few of his mates. I wonder who will be Chancellor, hopefully someone a little more skilled ? If Starmer had had a better Chancellor maybe he wouldn’t have been forced to resign. He never could read the room.
