Tony Blair has decided to go off and fix the world's problems, so Gordon Brown's taken over and decided to shake things up a bit.
Home. Secretary. Two words which are obviously associated with women. But surprisingly, there's never been a female Home Secretary before. Well that's all changed now, thanks to our new Pry Minister. Not only that, she spells her name Jacqui. That's pretty crazy, huh?
Obviously a fan of Melchett in Blackadder, he's appointed someone called Darling as Chancellor. Cue "Thank you, darling." every time he speaks.
The Minister for Schools and Children is called Ed Balls! LOLOL. This is fucking great!
Wait a minute, the Minister for Transport is... R. Kelly? I thought he was trapped in the closet. Looks like he's trapped in a Cabinet now.

Before today I didn't know that Gordon Brown only has one eye. He lost the other one in a rugby accident.
Ed Balls is a truly great, great name.
And two of the ministers are married to each other. I forget which ones.

Ed Balls sounds like a cop in a film. Like "No one had the Balls... until now." He needs a partner called John Fuck, though.

I once had a manager called Melvyn Balls. He was very young, and we only learned his name when he screamed it in fury. He thought we (the newsagent employees) were getting a bit too familiar, calling him by his first name. So, he told us in no uncertain terms, "DO NOT CALL ME MELVYN! MY NAME IS MISTER BALLS!"

You can talk about how you view Brown as a leader, the impact of his reshuffle, Blair's legacy, or whatever. This thread isn't restricted to making fun of their silly names.
Miliband, LOL.

This made me laugh, by the way. Man I'm in a good mood today. I stopped taking my pills a couple of days ago because I was feeling too sedated and now I feel like I could punch a hole in the planet.
I don't know much about politics though, and have no idea what difference Gordon Brown is going to make to the country. I'm sure he knows what he's doing, though. You don't get a job in that position unless you know what you're doing.

He's only our 52nd Prime Minister, apparently. That's not very many, is it?

I have a colleague with the surname Butts. Perhaps we should introduce them, suggest they start a partnership.

That works out at a fresh one every five years. That sounds ok. A bit more often than you'd replace a TV, for example.

There was also an MP in the transporty bit called Stephen Ladyman. I'm not sure where he's at now though.

There are two Milibands in the Cabinet - David and Ed. This is madness.

One should be renamed Vaniliband to avoid confusion.

The first scandal of the new cabinet will be finding out that they mimed their entire speaches during PM's question time.

Innovation, Universities and Skills, apparently. Oh. I might retrain as a florist.
