Government Ministers - does anyone know anyone that isnt one ?

[Donnywolf]

I dont know how many Government Minsters there usually are in past Governments but there seems to be a plethora of them at the moment

Have "we" invented 10 or 12 new Portfolios because without an announced reshuffle even more MPs are popping up as Minster of (or for) ............... (whatever Dept or project)

Yesterday I discovered 2 new ones I had never heard of Mimms ......... and one whose name I cant even rememeber.

So apart from the opposition Parties (to save people putting Corbyn Starmer etc) and Nick Fletcher does anyone know any Tory MP who isnt a Minister

A quick Google shows me the answer - and the reason I think there is a lot is there can be a maximum of 109 - yes that is 1-0-9 ( a hundred and nine )

I then Googled present Ministers and came up with this. Take a look at the name  - yeah me neither

Looking down the list I then came upon this which must be the Minister with the best name

There's been about 100 Ministers for decades. Not all Ministers are Cabinet Ministers. A lot of people think Edwina Currie was a Cabinet Minister but she never was.

Wasn't she 'on the cabinet' with John Major?

Maybe she thought he was a Tall boy ?

He certainly liked a rummage around her chest.
