Does CallMeDave actually want to lose the next election by a landslide? The appointments at Health and Justice are farcical.

Any suggestions from your Lib/Dem party?

There're not my LibDems any more than Labour were my Labour when I voted for them.

Having said that, just about anyone else would be an improvement over Hunt and Grayling. A Health Secretary who believes in magic (homeopathy) and is anti-choice, plus a Justice Secretary who's anti-equality. You couldn't make it up.

Isn't David "expenses scandal" Laws supposed to be coming back? If so, I hope there is a public uprising.

Which, ironically enough, is almost exactly the amount he swindled on expenses.

Forgive me mate.

I thought for one, stupid, absurd moment, that you honestly believed ministerial positions were delegated on the tenure of the relevant candidates capabilities.

As I'm sure you're probably aware it's a lot more to do with 'toethelineabilityitis'.

That is the amount he swindled on expenses. Lest we forget.

It really is outrageous. If this didn't show there is one law for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us I don't know what does.

Oh I know that. But there's usually some attempt to avoid utterly absurd appointments. This is like CaMoron's given up already and has decided to just have a laugh for the remainder of his tenure.

You're short by £592.00 or thereabouts.

I thought you might have been quoting his new salary, which would have had a certain perverse symmetry about it.
