Putting the same old Ministers in new jobs is not the way to create a “new” government

David Miliband is rewarded for not opposing Gordon Brown, proving?? once again that failing to cut carbon emissions and mishandling farm payments ??is the way to promotion from Environment!

Alistair Darling, who failed to make much needed decisions to increase the capacity of our roads, airports or railways, is rewarded with the Treasury where the consequences of poor infrastructure willl continue to haunt him.

Jacqui Smith, Tony Blair’s Chief Whip, who??was frequently unable ??to keep?? all Labour MPs in and voting for the government, is given charge of the Home Office.

Harriet Harman, Labour Chairman and Deputy Leader, can?? now draw a taxpayer financed salary as Leader of the House.

??Des Browne, who made a mess as Defence Secretary, has it converted into a part time job,adding Scotland to his portfolio.

Tessa Jowell confessed she did not have a grip on the Olympics budget, so she is downgraded from the Cabinet BUT remains in charge of the Olympics!

You cannot make a competent government, by taking Ministers who have done badly in departments and putting them into entirely new ones!
