Debbonaire’s Burning Churn Hypocrisy
Shadow Culture Secretary Thangam Debbonaire has some choice words for churn in DCMS – which has seen 12 culture secretaries – over the last 14 years. That “merry-go-round” is “outrageous” and a “symbol of the insulting way they’ve treated people who work in these industries.“ A cutting blow to be sure…
Racking up the equivalent of a cricket score of culture secretaries isn’t “really valuable” for the sector, it’s outrageous. Playing ministerial merry-go-round with the role of Culture Secretary is a symbol of the insulting way they’ve treated people who work in these industries. https://t.co/pjz9tOZaNj

Funnily enough if Thangham had a brief glance at Wikipedia she would notice that the Labour party has had the exact same number of shadow culture secretaries in the same period. Her tweet was enthusiastically supported by Chris Bryant, who happens to be shadow culture secretary number four since 2010. Thangham is number twelve. Lucy Frazer has been doing the job longer than both of them put together. Are Labour shadow secretaries so forgettable?
