harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted August 2, 2020 There can't be that many 50summat ex-minister Tory MPs. Come on DL nerd types, list them so we can speculate wildly, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on DL nerd types, list them so we can speculate wildly, please. Already did on the Sickest Game thread - it struck me that Jacob Rhys Mogg is in the cabinet and - I think I'm right in saying - is not actually a minister because Leader of the House is a management, not ministerial job. Not for one second suggesting it IS him but that'd be up there with Prince Andrew for riveting entertainment value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not Mogg because he's been criticised for being informed of the matter a month ago for his job. Anyhow, former minister. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, likely some nonentity who once had something to do with transport. A few other big hitters - like IDS - are ruled out on grounds of age and Boris isn't a former minister.

I've just seen the list, without cunningly disguised names for legal reasons (Even though I'm only listing Tory ex minister MP's in their 50's which is fact) as on the extra curricular thread so I'll not add any more.
