Chancellor of the Exchequer. No new taxes - read my lips ! But the money I collect will be disbursed far more intelligently.

TB reckons om15 is the big allotment man now, so therefore should be offered Agriculture.

BOAC might be the better man for Defence, especially given its sales export role. PN for Armed Forces Minister?
I am happy to be Education, if asked.

I offer to accept the portfolio of either Minister for Justice or Immigration. Capital punishment restored or boot the islamics out. I'm ok with either.

Failing those a Humphrey Appleby-like 'baffle 'em with *****' senior appointment in the Public Service next to Number 10 would suffice. I would just need a good Bernard.

Minister for Supply? - Ooh, need a policy. Got one!! "You can't have it, cos somebody else might need it*."



* Not my real-life stacker policy which was "You want it, you can have it (unless it's illegal**)."



**One time I said 'No' thwarted any further progress in my career, but that's another story.

I would be happy to accept the position as Leader of the Opposition because given the calibre of some of the, exclusively male, proposals for Ministerial roles, it wouldn't be long before they were consigned to history as their competency is comparative to the current Gov't .....actually, I would prefer Minister of Transport because you get lots of free trips and junkets.....

Meanwhile, Farage's Fearless Phalanx continues to head South.....alas, it could be me, or a cunning piece of fake C4 News editing of course, but, the massed ranks seem to have diminished somewhat.....but at least two dogs are now getting a nice walk every day.

“..., exclusively male, ...” Just about as accurate as most arguments put forward by the Leader of the Opposition. Mustn’t let the facts get in the way of our prejudices must we.

Actually, I was being very factual. Non of the ladies proposed warrant criticism and some of the males would be quite good....which only leaves the woefully incompetent and deluded as I suggested.
