As a listener to this podcast you might often fantasise about your ideal cabinet

who you'd have as Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Chancellor or Home Secretary

but if you ever had that thought but with beer.

Thanks to our friends at Beer 52 you can create your own cabinet of beers.

You get a free case of eight crap beers and all you have to do is cover the postage of £5.95.

So go to beer52.com slash party, that's the word beer,

the number five and two.com slash party and get your free case of eight beers

and you can arrange them however you like.

You can create a cabinet or depending on your political leanings, a shadow cabinet

And of course the joy of the beer 52 monthly subscription is that you can have a reshuffle every month

which would still make it more stable than most of the government we have in the UK.

It comes with a magazine and a snack and if you don't like dark beer you can choose the light option,

you can pause or cancel it anytime.

So if you want to bring some stability and you don't fancy a reshuffle you can indeed

lead by example. Go to beer52.com slash party and pay £5.95 postage to get all this now.
