Reeves and McFadden Most Powerful Cabinet Ministers as Rayner Snubbed
The list of Cabinet Committees and who’s bagged a seat at each table is out, and it’s bad news for Angela Rayner. She’s been unceremoniously snubbed after missing out on a permanent seat at the high level National Security Council. Guido was inspired to make a list of the most powerful cabinet ministers in order of how many committees they have permanent membership to:
Out of the ten committees, Reeves is on 8 of them, McFadden is on 7 and Cooper’s on 6. As it stands, the following are currently on more than one committee:
- Rachel Reeves: 8
- Pat McFadden: 7
- Yvette Cooper: 6
- Jonathan Reynolds: 5
- Nick Thomas-Symonds: 5
- Angela Rayner: 4
- John Healey: 5
- Ed Miliband: 3
- David Lammy: 3
- Peter Kyle: 3
- Hilary Benn: 3
- Richard Hermer: 4
- Wes Streeting: 2
- Bridget Phillipson: 2
- Lucy Powell: 2
- Jo Stevens: 2
- Ian Murray: 2
- Darren Jones: 2
The Red Queen only managed to scrape in on 4 committees – just one more than ‘Red Ed’. Deputy Prime Minister in name only?
