It's almost like they WANT reform to be elected!

Mahmood or Miliband would be horrendous Chancellors. Its how to lose a general election
@
Masters of Resources. Yes, I do think anyone who works 8-9 hours a day should be able to afford Rent, bills, and groceries with their paycheck alone, no matter what job they do. That's kind of the whole point of having a freaking job, and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.
@
Looks to me like the DWP is carrying on with moral panic.
@
Do they have a location for downing Street north? It'll take them several years to even plan and build the thing
@
If Burnham doesn't choose a radical chancellor, Labour will lose the next general election.
@
Mahmood she studied Law and got a degrees in architecture and urban planning NOT in economics. We have just had one chancellor that lied on her CV then trashed the economy. Are Labour now bringing in another loser to totally destroy it. What next the Toilet Cleaner from Labours HQ as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care run the NHS. They dont have a clue.
@
I'm ready for my closeup Mr DeMille.....Burnham.
@
How about getting people in posts who know what they are doing for a change. The country is nearly at the bottom of the toilet
@
If Ed Milliband isn’t Chancellor, then we’re just slumping into Starmer 2. More vision and courage, please.
@
He already has a balanced team they are all totally incompetent
@
Errr ? The Muppet Show cast ? Yep , definately the Muppets !
Meet the New Boss , Same as the Old Boss !
@
A disastrous choice that will just doom his own government. IF you want change, you have to do something different.
@
Mahmood is a lawyer not an economist.
@
A lawyer / barrister in charge of Finance with zero accounting experience 🤔😏🤨🙄😵💫

Shuffling the chairs on the Titanic. 😂
