  1. It’s the first with absolutely no one who’s qualified to hold any position of power. Truly a dark moment for the UK. They better hope trump gets another term so at least they have someone to talk to on thier level

  2. I couldn’t give a shit if they were guy diamond out of trolls, the only thing that matters is if they are qualified and competent to do the job, in this case their not so should be replaced with people that are

    Liz Trusses cabinet is Britain’s first without an adult in the room.

    FTFY.

    This has to be the most ideologically extreme government in the long history of the UK, I fear we are in for an horrendous few years before they get kicked out by either an election (Dubious because of the way they have rigged the process in their favor) or the adults in the Tory party take back control.

  4. I’m offended as a black woman that this Victorian era extremist government are being pitched as progressive due to their gender or colour.

  5. Amazing how this sub thinks diversity is important when it comes to anything other than the conservatives. As soon as the conservatives are practically diverse (female leaders, POC in important jobs etc) this sub starts screaming that it doesn’t matter.

    Funny old world.

  6. I don’t give a shit about melanin or testerone, I give a shit about ability to do the job.

    I hope the cabinet are highly competent, because Truss seems miles out of her depth.

  7. Truss’ government is a Batman rogues gallery of amoral chancers and ideologically reprehensible Tory filth.

    You’ve got an anti-abortion activist as the Health Secretary, a climate change denier as the Climate minister, an AG who nearly got disbarred for giving illegal advice as the Home Secretary, and if rumours are to be believed, her ex affair partner in the Chancellor’s seat.

    And that’s without getting into the rest. Anyone who thought we’d be better off than with Boris is in for a rude awakening.

    Oh and her plan for the energy crisis is that we all pay their £170billion *profits* over the next 39 years in higher taxes.

    We are all, by any reasonable objective measure, completely fucked.

  8. It might be diverse in terms of race and gender, but it’s same old Tories in other ways. I’ve just been through the new cabinet’s wiki pages

    93% of people in the UK are state educated. The percentage for the Truss cabinet? 21%. The top job might have gone to a state educated person, but the rest is the usual entrenchment of inequality.

    Fwiw the Shadow Cabinet is roughly 87% state educated.

  9. So about 40 percent of the population are unrepresented? Great job! This is surely exactly what equality is all about.

  10. What does it matter what race or sex they are? Best people for the job should be the only criteria.

    If they are all working to the same agenda, usually not what’s best for British people, then they are just as bad. Identity politics is used to keep us divided and it works a treat.

  11. >Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologised in 2019 for describing Muslim women wearing burqas as looking like letter boxes.

    Did he tho?

  12. It’s a start, but we really need to get rid of white, male MPs altogether, not just in the cabinet. Followed by a purge of white men from the civil service.

    Hopefully the private sector will get the message, and also stop employing them.

    White men. If it was up to me they would jail the lot of them.
