    If a minister for common sense is doing their job correctly, the first thing they’d do is tell us to chuck the Tories.

    i have to defend her, although she is a massive bell. Minister Without Portfolio is a perfectly reasonable position in the cabinet, its just that calling it Minister for Common Sense is for the tabloid morons Sunak and Co are trying to win back. Shes been brought in to provide some extra eyes on different things, which is fine. The theory and the practice are often different and being rinsed by antiques roadshow hosts on live tv is cruel and inhumane treatment which we should be proud of opposing.

      So asking the question of why she is in this post is unreasonable? Isn’t the PM supposed to be the voice of reason in government, or what is he being paid for.

        i think its a waste of time, its playing the same tabloid game it was invented for. What shall we call this hire? Minister for Common Sense. Is that a real title/do we need to spend any time making it a real title? no, its common sense that her actual title is something much more boring and usual

          And again what is Sunak’s role. Does she over rule him ?

            id imagine shes there to offer views on things, and possibly part of a numbers game of political power for specific issues. She could be there as a fluffer or as a person to whip little idiots into line. Thats what that job is.

              This just about sums it up. Its all a mind game, and you fell for it.
