AIBU to wonder who else will join Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet?

[Locutus2000]

So far we've got

Dame Priti Patel - shadow foreign secretary

Mel Stride - shadow chancellor

Laura Trott - shadow education secretary

Which other political heavyweights might she bring on board? Cleverley, Hunt and Cameron not interested.

She's put Jenrick in as justice I think.

Cleverley, Hunt and Cameron not interested.

Not surprised. I imagine Cleverly is hoping she'll implode and he'll be in before the next election (which isn't a scenario I'd bet against happening).

Cleverly has already said he will not serve in the shadow cabinet. Smart move. He's already held senior positions in government, so when (my guess is when, not if) the conservatives have yet another internal election, he's got that to fall back on. Tugenhat on the other hand, may see his best chance of a successful challenge to Badenoch is to get one of the big shadow jobs.

So Badenoch would be a fool to give him one of the big jobs.

YABU to not post this in politics

political heavyweights

😂

YABU for describing Patel, Stride and Trott as "political heavyweights".
