Rees Mogg I say
He's more likely to challenge May for the leadership imo, he won't tolerate being tied to cabinet collective responsibility.

Hunt or Javid would be good choices IMO. A few people have mentioned Gove but I can't see May giving him any more power than she needs to. IDS has literally no chance.
Picking Hunt would be a good way of getting him away from Health, surely he wouldn't turn down the Home Office?
Javid is now bookies favourite. He's a remainer but still has eurosceptic views. His Asian heritage and working class upbringing might also be a bonus in May's eyes. I think he's very likely to get the gig now that I think about it.

This leak done her over. Would love to know who leaked it...
You mean did the Minister for London hand it to his wife at the Guardian or did the Foreign Secretary give it to his sister in law?

Also, I don't like that Yvette Cooper is making such a big deal out of this when she was essentially trying to outflank the Tories on (illegal) immigration.

Meh. I'd bring that up whenever a centrist slug trys to attack Corbyn or saying things would be going better had they still been in charge.
But in this case I'm fine with centre Labour MPs uniting in effectivly attacking the Tories. Yes keep that knowledge, but only use it when it is useful.
I predict Chris Grayling for the new job.

Aye, fair enough.
It's more the fact that people like Corbyn are the only ones with genuine consistency on this issue. Yet the centrists will claim they are the great progressives. He was one of only 15 MPs to vote against the Immigration Bill.
BBC news has a whole banner about this on their homepage. Hot news for them tonight!

The ship of state is the only ship that leaks from the top, and I can't see what interest Downing Street had in leaking it.

This is what things would look like if Cooper's wing of the party were still in charge.
That didn't stop Cooper shredding Rudd at that select committee thing. Which is good obviously.

He was friendly with May is all. Was surprised he was only given Transport once May was in, given that he ran her leadership capaign....
Original post by Rinsed
Like I said I agree with that. Politics is political and I don't think having a cabinet which reflects the country is a bad thing to aim for. But that poster's language was somewhat stronger.
I mean, look at his reply to me:
"Keep a few BMEs" indeed. Cretin.

The likes of Cooper and Umunna are certainly 'good' politicians. They are much better speakers than Corbyn and would have much more control of the House at events like PMQs. The trouble is that it's difficult to know what their actual beliefs are and there is a sense that their actions are very calculated.
One thing I actually like about Corbyn is that he's rather rubbish at being a politician in that sense.

He was shadow home sec for 18 months before Cameron got in too.
And made a mess of that (e.g. B&B controversy) and was airbrushed out of the GE and passed over for the subsequent cabinet.
I have no idea why May picked him to lead her campaign.
@nulli tertius any clue?

Mate, when you come up with a coherent argument beyond the facile "hurr durr Tories are racists" I'll do you the credit of responding.
I repeat myself because you clearly didn't get it the first time.

Will repeat until it sinks in.
Seeing lots of windrush poeple saying they see the blame with Theresa May. Hopefully this is not going to stop here. May is the next in the firing line XD. Can't use Amber as a scape goat anymore.
