Rights hoarding dinosaurs, get ready for attack!

David Lammy as Deputy PM. Not great news for us. Luckily I haven’t got round to changing my username since the dinosaur comments.

Just dropping by to remark that the ghastly Lammy has had a profound effect on….many of our usernames!

I manged to not use my Boiledbeetleasaurus user name. I'm most annoyed with myself.

Love it, for a' that and a' that

YaAAaaarrrrR!

Lammy has effectively been demoted so no one listens to the prat. ROAR!!!

At least some things remain the same

I’d feel safer with that cat in office than this lot

I would have thought Starmer was relieved when that space opened up on the ministerial Rubik’s cube so he could shuffle lammy off the world stage

Best of luck to DH, and please keep us updated on his cervix project. I’ve often wanted to grow a penis, for easy peeing when out in the woods; I’ve squatted in scratchy grass too often, not to mention losing my balance and falling into a nettle patch.

But I’ll wait to hear how he gets on before buying a kit.

Someone linked the song on an SP thread and I really wanted an FWR name (I had GlinnerOfHope but people mistook me for Glinner).

I’m sorry I misspelled.

I can pee standing up in the woods. But that doesn't make me a man, not even a man with a grow-your-own. It makes me a woman with a SheWee.

Ye gods!

Good job this is still in my username list

They're two different positions:

Deputy Prime Minister - non-job that the PM appoints, and can remove someone from as they wish

Deputy Leader of the Labour party - non-job that the Party votes for, and cannot be removed by the PM. Often a thorn in the PM's side (see Tom Watson and Jeremy Corbyn, Rayner and Starmer)

Lammy has been given Deputy PM as a consolation prize for being demoted from the Home Office. I doubt he can do much damage as Justice Secretary.

So presumably Lammy was not considered a success? safe pair of hands ? as Foreign Sec? I was surprised when Starmer appointed such an emotionally incontinent man (judging by his many student politics comments) to such an important role but assumed he had hidden talents that I'd not appreciated?

He wasn't a particularly good Foreign secretary, and Cooper failed to do anything about the small boats/immigration, so she had to move. And she is a bigger Labour beast than Lammy, and if Starmer sacks Reeves as Chancellor he'll look an even bigger fool/weakling than over Rayner, so Lammy got the shove.

Cooper is awful, I’ve disliked her since pre Corbyn times, and her stupid husband. Happy with that change.

eta her replacement as Home Secretary

I don't think Lammy was a disaster as foreign sec, though he was good for some memes.

The idea of Lammy as our top diplomat seems funny on the surface, but on a personal level he's naturally easygoing and makes friends easily. The weird odd-couple friendship he's struck up with Vance is a case in point. Those bits of the job where doing your homework was less important, and relationship building more important, he was quite good at.

I suspect with Cooper it will be the opposite.

Shabana as home sec is a no-brainer. She's tough and smart, she's the closest thing Labour have to a law and order and immigration hardliner, and being an ethnic minority woman makes her somewhat fireproof.

New username - reporting for duty. Although it does look like Lammy has been shifted back and Mahmoud brought into a key role, so proportion of senior ministers understanding that TWA not, in fact W is improving

Also reporting for duty <twirls, knocking over bookcase with tail>

I will never forgive Lammy for mocking women fighting for what already are their rights in law. He was also involved in the passing of the GRA, "nothing to see here ladies". How's that worked out for the country Lammy?

Thank you Boiled! Scene 2 made me feel a bit queasy though. I’m not good with the idea of internal body parts “in the wild”!

i like the idea that actually DPM is a demotion for Lammy, and that Mahmoud is more sensible about the SC decision. Fingers crossed Labour don’t reverse on this…

No supper for you!

Love it, Boiled!

I feel quite chuffed. I've been Boiled 😁

Exciting, no? It’s a select club!

If you knock the books off the bookcase again mummy dinosaur will be interpreting that differently 😘

Rawr.
