Fantasy Cabinet

I saw this on twitter. So thought it may be a little fun.

If you were PM who would you want on your cabinet.
(You can make it funny or not)
Here are a few to get it started

Chancellor - Martin Lewis, one guy who knows about finance and it's not just about profit for the rich.
Trade Secretary - Deborah Needham, Dragons Den investor, a sucessful business woman who also is involved how big and small companies can reduce their impact on the planet.
Transport Minister - Mick Lynch, great communicator, who know the all about trains but from the other side.

Jurgen Klopp for foreign secretary. A sensible and straightforward guy, who has talked a great deal of sense on Brexit and has said it was ridiculous that someone like Boris Johnson could ever be prime minister. He come across as honest and trustworthy, is obviously a high achiever and could approach being foreign secretary from an international perspective. He's pretty fearless as well and wasn't afraid to wade into the Covid debate and tell people they ought to get vaccinated.

Three more:

Levelling Up, Housing and Communities - Marcus Rashford
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - Caroline Lucas (Green Parties only MP)
Secretary of State for Wales - Katherine Jenkins (the only person I know who can speak Welsh)

I wouldn't have a cabinet, I'd be a Dictator.

People who work would be rewarded, people who can't work would be helped. People who won't work, criminals and smackheads would be fed through a giant mincer and burned in power stations. Anyone who complains about this would join them.

Interesting choice. Personally I think that if you're going to choose a socialist extremist with good communication skills and who thinks that Ukraine provoked a dictator into invading, then your best bet would be Adolf Hitler. He not only built the autobahns but he also got the trains running on time, unlike Lynch who's speciality is stopping them from running at all.

N I secretary: - Martin O'Neill (Ex A Villa boss) probably would be able to give stormont a verbal lashing for not looking after NI and get it working.
Secretary for Scotland: - Jock Stein or current Scotland boss both passionate about their scottish roots.
Transport Secretary : Jeremy Clarkson - and why not??
Home Secretary : Robert Rinder He'd soon get the immigrants packing their bags back home.Hopefully would make sentences fit the crimes committed.
Eucation Secretaty - Johhny Ball. Nuff said. Made Maths look fun and interesting.
Agree with having Jurgen Klopp for Foreign Secretary and Martin Lewis Chancellor. Need sensible heads in those positions.
UN Ambassador: Sir David Attenborough
Minister for Sport : Someone who's actually played sport.
Health Secretary: Dr Who.

Minister of Education - Rachel Riley
Minister of Sport - Phil Tufnell

So far:

Chancellor - Martin Lewis

Foreign Secretary - Jurgen Klopp

Health - Professor Chris Witty

Defence - Sean Bean - as one of his characters from GOT or LOTR
or Novak Djokovic - don't agree with the anti-vac stance but he's definitely used to fights and best defence game of all time on a tennis court

Housing/communities - Marcus Rashford

Education - Three options so far: Dolly Parton, Drake or Beyonce for their donations to US schools, colleges and learning charities. Trying to think of other celebs here as a vast category with many options

I've separated this into two departments:-
Culture/Media - Kirstie Allsopp - I liked the way she took on Nadine Dorries over the proposed privatisation of Channel 4
Sport - Sarina Wiegman

Scotland - Andy Murray

Chancellor: Evan Davis (host of PM on Radio 4 and Dragons Den on BBC2 as well as former Economics Editor for BBC News.

Foreign Secretary: Barack Obama

Health Secretary: My father. (Retired NHS Consultant physician and NHS through and through)

Education: Stephen Fry

Defence: Penny Mordaunt

Levelling up and DWP Secretary (jobs combined): Lisa Nandy

Home Secretary: Ian Hislop

Business Secretary: Deborah Meaden

Environment: Sir David Attenborough

Culture media and sport: Hazel Irvine

Wales: Katherine Jenkins

Scotland: Skully

Northern Ireland: Rory McIlroy

Oh and on the basis I have no desire to be Prime Minister.......

Prime Minister: Jacinda Ardern. Swap NZ for UK.

I thought "Fantasy Cabinet" was the posh name for where the mod's kept their old jazz mags.
