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

Hear hear!

I wonder who might come in replacement ….hopefully not Millipede.

Sorry to see Peter Kyle go.

Now Lords Hermer and Timpson.

Thank goodness Rachel has gone but we may get somebody worse. "Rich" pensioners like us are sitting ducks.

Lord Timpson resigned. He wasn’t asked to leave 😥

On what do you base that comment?

Mamie

Sorry to see Peter Kyle go.

another good guy but made the mistake of remaining loyal to Keir.

I’m just impatient to hear who’s coming not who’s going - many of those are obvious - well DL, RR and LH were

Loyalty is never a mistake.

On one of the comments it said Emily Thornberry might be replacing Lord Hermer, I d9nt know how true that might be.

As the gaffer you expect your staff to be loyal -respectful staff normally transfer into new managers effectively

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.

New appointments will be set this afternoon.

I’m glad Hermer has been sacked.
Another good move imo.

Mr Lammy, who served as Sir Keir’s deputy, said he would not take up a ministerial post under Mr Burnham.

I hope she gets something - I never understood why she didn’t in 2024 but she’s been a good select committee chair

Oh NF is whingeing

Steve Reed, the Housing Secretary, has quit ahead of Andy Burnham announcing his Cabinet.

The former housing secretary, who has been in Cabinet since the 2024 general election, said he was proud he “acted with integrity at every step over the turbulent past few months”.

Writing to Andy Burnham, he said: “Keir Starmer showed loyalty to me by appointing me to his Cabinet. I make no apology for returning that loyalty”.

At least POTUS will not be on Sadiq Kahn’s patch 😹

Liz Kendall also returning to the backbenches. I thought she was quite good myself. Shame.
