The clip of Mad Nads trying to say that Johnson came from poverty is hilarious. She seems to leap to the conclusion off the basis that he got a scholarship to Eton.

And on the flip side, Starmer is too posh for socialists because he went to a Grammar School, even though it was voluntary aided when he started. All about ridiculous different contexts ain't it!! |

I'm seeing some commentary that the pick of Timpson for prisons & probations might be quite a good one. Also another odd fact about He might be one of the first pair of siblings to hold cabinet positions in consecutive governments for different parties (his brother is Ed Timpson, formerly MP for Eddisbury and solictor general until 2022. |

I'm glad your posted that fozzy, I was confused in my sleep-deprived state yesterday and wondered why Starmer was appointing a Tory to his government but I must've been thinking it was the brother.

I'm happy to see so many state educated people in the cabinet. And the first female chancellor, that was well overdue.

Seems a sensible team. Wes Streeting getting into the doctor's pay dispute. No such thing as an easy start...
