A Few Titbits from the Tory Reshuffle

A bit of news from the Tory junior ministerial reshuffle...

David Burrowes gets a job
David Ruffley moved from Work & Pensions
Stewart Jackson & Richard Benyon appointed to the whips office
Maria Miller to shadow childcare under Michael Gove

OK, OK, I know it's not a lot. I am sure there will be much more later this morning. Stay tuned!

Glad you told us Iain....who are these people ? Did Dave meet them at White's and offer them a job because they were Labour candidates, or were they old school chums ?

Stupid comment - DC certainly didn't go to school with either David Burrowes or Mike Penning!

Thank you Judith for your polite and considered response - clearly you know more about these folks than we voters do.

Keep up your charm offensive - you really know how to win votes....

Judith - Mike Penning went to school?

Observer, sorry, I forgot, anti-Tories can be as rude as they like, we have to sit back and take it.

And since Mike Penning was in the Army and the Fire Service, as well as being a Conservative, but didn't go to Fettes, it's quite ok to be snotty about him too.

Keep it up Judith...you are being so anti-Tory that you'll have Douglas Alexander putting you up for an award.

You must be a bitter twisted woman....carry on....you obviously get pleasure from being a harridan

Observer - you are making a bit of a fool of yourself here. Judith is fair enough to point out that your silly attempt to stereotype all Tory's as Eton educated toffs rather backfired in the case of Mr Penning - who (if you had met him, you'd know) is as working class and 'essex boy' as they come.

He was also in the Police Service I believe!

Lots of military at Eton, not many coppers though guvna!

NO Adrian Yalland you are off the wall...my point was WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ?

Who has ever heard of them ?

They are Invisible.

Not everybody here is a headbanger political activist - some are simply voters who wonder who these people are - but he did not go to Fettes...that means something to you people but not to me...should he have gone to school in Scotland ?

OK Observer, you are simply a voter, you are interested enough to read a political blog - keep reading, watch the news, take a couple of broadsheet papers, maybe one day you'll recognise some of these names.

And thank you for your 'polite and considered' response in calling me a harridan.

Observer. So YOU are the one - the only guy who reads this blog who isn't a political headbanger.
