I’m sure from their perspective it’s preferable than letting the squid game commence

The bottom line is that controversy has followed  Mr Callister throughout his political career no surprise then that he is in the Ministerial wilderness.

Or by including Hooper and Edge, silence two of the most vocal critics of the last Government.

Edge was very much team Cannan. Why do you think she got what she wanted and Callister was offered her old job? Perhaps it was a pisstake which Callister was all to aware of hence his hissy fit.

[SleepyJoe]

Certainly Ms Edge is now - was she before she voted for Cannan and joined his government?

I am reliably informed she was.

Mostly of his own making though.

I haven’t personally seen anything to suggest she was pro Cannan, other than voting for him as CM.

 

I really thought she would have been behind someone not in the last CoMan.

ETA: now seen Ham n Eggs informed response.

You are Rob Callister and I claim my £5.

You have more excuses than Deontay Wilder.

The wig I wore getting into the ring was to heavy, will be next.

I wonder which appointments raise questions, and why RC thinks so.

Allison and Hooper who voted for Allison? ie supported a different vision to Alf.

[Andy Onchan]

I'm amazed that RC thought that just because the DOI & DfE featured strongly in his manifesto that he would be a shoo-in. How incredibly naive and arrogant in equal measure to even think or believe that.

[Roxanne]

And, hasn’t he just been in DOI for the last two years? What exactly was his contribution whilst there?

Bring LH and JE in now so when the inevitable real politik decisions have to be taken they either a) get grubby with CoMin or b) flounce and forever be perceived as the sniping bitter backbencher. Same happened with PK and KB and it pretty much finished both if them politically.

RC doesnt seem to get that and/or the sensible idea that CoMin ought not to be a group think confirmatory place if all voices the same.
