The home of common sense. This is talk. John Reynolds here, we're going to talk to him about

0:06.5

how the Blair government from the past is coming back and taking various seats in the cabinet

0:12.9

or around the cabinet. But the cabinet has indeed been chosen, lots of pictures of it over the

0:17.0

course of the weekend. We thought we'd have a quick look at the new cabinet of the new Labour

0:20.5

government because, of course, one of the big divisive debates that took place and it looks

0:24.2

as though Jonathan Reynolds wants to rehash it with reform and Brexit and all the rest of it. David

0:28.6

Lammy's over in the EU trying to renegotiate Brexit. We thought we'd overlook some of the key members,

0:33.4

24 members of the cabinet. We're going to look at the top 12 to see exactly how they voted and what they

0:38.9

wanted during, of course, the Brexit debate in the Brexit referendum in 2016. So let's kick off

0:44.0

with Secir Starma. Prime Minister, he of course is a Remainer. Angela Rainer, Deputy Prime Minister,

What's he? Oh, he's a Remainer. David Lammy, Foreign Secretary, renegotiating Brexit, also a

Health Secretary, of course, also a Remainer. Bridgett Phillipson, education. Any chance? No, a

1:29.9

Hillary Ben, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, also a Remainer. There's another 12,

1:34.7

but we haven't got time to go through them. But trust me, every single one of the cabinet,

1:38.4

24 of them are all Remainers. And yet they say, but we don't want to go back into the European Union. Of course they don't. Let's talk to John Rensel, Chief Political Commentator at the Independent. John, a very good morning to you. Good morning, Mike. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. I mean, it's a bit of a one-sided cabinet, isn't it? Well, the Labour Party is overwhelmingly pro-Romania. And the Labour MPs overwhelmingly pro-Roman, and the Labour MPs overwhelmingly pro-Roman.
