Cat tax is my cat judging me for even considering responding to some posts.

He has been PM for six hours already now. Time for another change.

Sir David Attenborough wants his turn and he hasn't got long.

He mentioned education. Which is absolutely key to dealing with youth unemployment.

Immigration isn't uncontrolled, so no wonder he didn't mention it. It is in fact very substantially decreased. Oh, those pesky facts!

What did you want to hear about AI?

Just sayin'.

Well, shit.

I didn’t expect that sort of a cabinet reshuffle

Departs is doing some rather heavy lifting there!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

Caught up with all the thread now.

The sentiment of the new title didn't last very long did it? 😶

Very true.

To be honest as harsh as it is for some of them it was well needed. Anyone who got the job under Starmer will be tainted, unfortunately for them.

indeed.

Reform voters make me laugh. Whenever anyone is given anything they talk about the homeless Brits on the street.

when someone does something to tackle homelessness, it doesn’t really matter.

That one makes me laugh so much. She looks like I feel when DS2 is jammering 😂

Interesting that even Reeves from customer service turned down a cabinet job, this does not bode well - at all.

They are busy trying to plug the gap apparently, hence the delay. Not the most inspiring start. The wheels are already coming off.

Just an extra one to reinforce @Cheguevarahamster 's message.

Can I stick my head in please? I’m the same age as Andy Burnham , I feel a bit invested in his success.

Taken a break from any political threads post the disaster that is Brexit but I think my blood pressure can cope with dipping in a bit now. Many thanks 😊

I used to like peonies. I've gone off them now.

Excellent posts @Cheguevarahamster and @TemperanceWest I shall bear those in mind.

Welcome. These threads are usually hypertensive therapy, we’re having a bit of an off day today

I would have thought yon other lot would be delighted that Lammy and Reeves have gone . I guess they are holding fire for the Rayner announcement.

Personally, I really hope Diane Abbott gets the whip restored.

I can understand that Seaitoverthere. And if the country hadn't been dragged through 'the disaster that is Brexit' the Government might have spent more time and money on fixing stuff.

They're not all this beautiful.

Welcome 🤗

Yes you must all do as you are told. Good old muzzling socialism 😱

Watching on the BBC News channel. They're letting Andrew Neil spout rubbish for far too long.

Who better to offer commentary? (lots of people)
