In the context of nothing in particular:
Chancellor of Exchequer: Scott Wright (who comments regularly, and posts occasionally, on this very 'blog). The previous incumbent is absolutely sound, but he just doesn't blog much any more.
Education: Onus Probandy (previous incumbent is a decent bloke but is not so hot on 'logic' which seems to disqualify him).
PS: My current Welfare Reform Minister is on notice because he doesn't post about Citizen's Income/Pension very much. Oh... he just did. Reprieved.

I presume there is a resettlement allowance. I set up rolling three-month contract with Madame Fifi's Sauna and Hanky-Panky Parlour on the back of that job and Madame Fifi put young Chantelle on enhanced rates to allow for my quirks. I need the resettlement money to be able to pay them enough to keep it out of the papers.
Keys to the ministerial limousine will be returned as soon as I find them. It might take a few months.
TFB, you can keep the limousine but you wouldn't have got the sauna stuff reimbursed anyway.
Thanks very much Mark.
Now... where is the biscuit tin?
OP, it was last seen in TFB's limousine.
Thanks for the reprieve ... I am mightily relieved!

If the current pattern is anything to go by, the fact I understand the system would surely disqualify me. You need to be a total fuckwit like Osborne to get the job.
SW, "You need to be a total fuckwit like Osborne to get the job."
indeed. I fondly remember his first budget speech where he said:
a) "We want to reduce the very high marginal rates faced by people on tax credits etc" (cutaway shot to IDS nodding in approval) and a few minutes later
b) "We want to reduce the cost of the welfare system by increasing the taper rate for tax credits and lowering the upper limit at which they are withdrawn completely"
Followed up a year later by the proposal to take Child Benefit away from higher rate taxpayers.

IDS can go jump off a bridge with his 76% marginal rate on people doing the right thing in order to skew the unemployment figures by getting a bunch of unemployed into part-time work!!
Osborne always give me the impression that he is saying what someone has told him to say. I think he's on the same mind control medication as Cameron.
