Healey. Puts the voracious, speculating media in its place for getting it entirely wrong. Safe pair of hands. Devolution friendly. 



I like Healey for this job was not enamoured with Mahmoud or Miliband.

I thought they were all rather too faced, tbh. As Kemi put 400 knives in Keir’s back. ABs not taking any chances 😅

I think you were right the first time although they have been feeble attempts.

It has been suggested that both Reeves and Starmer were offered jobs by Burnham but both said no thanks, understandably in the circumstances. Lammy was a safe deputy but didn't get a chance to do anything, so who for DP?
Milliband maybe in charge of housing as well, a big job.

Yes thsts my thought

Perhaps we are looking at chancellor, home office and foreign office. But which one for which job?

SM - CX, JH - FO, EM - HO

Hopefully he won't bring back half a brain cell Angela Rayner back.

What a rude stupid comment - and you’re going to be disappointed.

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.

Governments of every political persuasion tax and spend; that's how they fund public services. The relevant question isn't whether there should be tax, but whether the overall system is fairer and more efficient. If a land value tax replaced existing taxes like council tax and stamp duty rather than increasing the total tax take, then it's a reform of how we tax, not necessarily more tax.

Getting exciting now - SM and EM arriving together

Maybe one of the big ones - Foreign?

John Healey, the former defence secretary, is waiting to enter Downing Street as Andy Burnham continues his reshuffle.

Now Lords Hermer and Timpson.

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

Thanks for that correction. I'm not suprised.

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

Are you really in the top 1% Charleygirl5, congratulations.

Where the changes in "land tax" are concerned and presuming a revenue neutral scheme then the best-known modelling suggests roughly:

70–75% better off
25–30% worse off

Again, congratulations if you have been one of the winners were land values are concerned.

Andy Burnham is considering whether to introduce rent controls in a cost-of-living support package.

The new Prime Minister will make a major announcement on the economy tomorrow, including how he will pay for the radical measures he is expected to introduce.

Mr Burnham said: “We are looking at measures that could make a difference this year. So we are looking at all of those things but we will make more announcements tomorrow. We’re just finalising the details.
