Unlike Johnson, this government isn’t short of people who can actually do their jobs. It’s called delegation, that neither Johnson or his acolytes could do, and that why fuck all ever got done.
Really ? I cannot begin to understand why you might believe that.
Where to begin ?
Reeves as Chancellor, let's not start on the detail of her C.V. but suffice to say she is patently under qualified for the job and to date has performed disastrously, we have yet to see the full impact of her ill construed and naive budget but its coming , I will be amazed if she gets to the end of this parliament in position.
Lammy as Foreign Secretary, our top diplomat. Did anyone see Lammy during the election campaign ? No, Starmer may as well have locked him in a cupboard for the duration for he was kept well away from the electorate. Why - because diplomacy is just not his thing ! he could not be trusted not to put his foot in his mouth and scare the electorate and yet here he - our top diplomat! So far an absolute liability, Chagos, his previous brainless utterings coming out of the woodwork on everything from Trump to Slavery reparations - frankly embarrassing . The ultimate diversity hire.
Rayner as Deputy PM. There is nothing wrong with working in Social care but does it prepare you to sort the countries planning laws and deliver house building programmes or deliver balanced employment law? I would suggest not. Its not been a promising start, the housebuilding industry and trade bodies say her plans just simply will not be delivered and employers are up in arms about her employment legislation and every indication suggests it will be severely watered down. Lets all pray Starmer remains in good health and doesn't go on holiday for more than a long weekend.
Reynolds as Business secretary, who has what experience in business ? of course - absolutely none ! Though he was a solicitor, sorry no he wasn't . What has he done in the real world - next to fuck all. Currently in hiding in case anyone wants to ask him a question about impersonating a solicitor but before that shown himself completely out of touch with the private sector. For example whilst the rest of the world led by its largest banks and businesses are well on the way to rolling back WFH, Reynolds continues to champion it despite our appalling productivity numbers especially in the public sector which is all he knows about.
I can't go through them all but you get the idea, they have no grounding or experience of their briefs ( to be fair Tulip Siddiq did know plenty about corruption) and it shows.
I don't know about this parliament but in the last one only around 5% of Labour MPs had a business / commerce background, there is no reason to believe it will be any more this time around and I suppose in those circumstances Reeves may look well qualified . The reality is Labour MPs these days are career politicians who have worked they way through public sector , charity and political organisations with little experience of the commercial sector and little regard for their working class constituents. Devotion to a fixed world view and the currency of virtue signalling is the their most highly valued qualification .
How you believe this makes them capable of the offices of state I don't know. Look them up. If you were doing the hiring for ministerial jobs and their CVs were on your desk you wouldn't even call most of them for interview.
