We’re building a fantasy cabinet of all the talents to help change Britain for the better
Each week Sam and Ayesha ask our guests who they would most like to see, from any period of time, past or present, from any field and walk of life, to serve in the cabinet to really make a difference and change the country for the better. Here’s who they’ve suggested.
Jo Cox
Suggested by former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls to help heal the nastiness and pain of the last 10 years
Denis Healey
Suggested by former Treasury boss Nick Macpherson to act as Deputy Prime Minister to provide wise, tough advice for difficult times
Coming Soon
We’re asking every guest their suggestions so we will have more names coming to the fantasy cabinet soon!
