Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, Burnham has appointed:
- a Housing Secretary who “resigned” in disgrace from the same job because she couldn’t even pay the correct stamp duty on her 2nd house
- a previously sacked convicted fraudster who will be in charge of ethics in the Cabinet Office
- a Business Secretary that had to apologise to parliament over misleading CV statements
- a Chancellor who couldn’t count how many frigates we had in our fleet when he was defence secretary
- a Defence Secretary with no military experience (despite multiple ex-servicemen available)
So much for the “hope” vibes.
