I originally nominated people for my Bloggers Cabinet nearly two years ago, since when some have stopped 'blogging and so on (and thus disqualified themselves), so I've done a bit of slimming down and reshuffling.
The Home Office
Home Secretary - Julia M*
Drugs (Legalisation, Regulation & Taxation Thereof) - Jock Coats
Data Security - Longrider
Deregulation - Steven_L**I've got a spare place if anybody wants it.
Head of MI5 - James Higham**
Tomorrow - Environment
* Originally JuliaM was 'Justice Minister' and I had others for 'Immigration' and 'Police and prisons' but they've stopped 'blogging so we can merge all this back into just 'Home Secretary'.
** New appointments.
Was it all worth it?

I'm eager to see what's happening with the Treasury personnel. As a member of the Health Ministry, I want to ask them for a cut in our budget. ;)
DP, that's up on Wednesday. I've got three people assigned to cost cutting, so you've just made their lives a whole lot easier.
How often would one have to blog to be considered? I currently have little motivation, but if there were a cabinet position in it for me... :p
RA, invent yourself a job if you so wish, but I'm not letting you anywhere near 'pensions reform' :-b
Can I be in charge of HMRC please?
I won't be there very long. No need for an office or a car, or pay. I will abolish it within five minutes of my getting to the building.
CR.
CR, too late. We'll be shutting down most of HMRC anyway, because tax collection will be dealt with by HM Land Registry and local councils' existing Council Tax/Business Rates departments.
I'd like to be head of MI5 in this.
Minister for Technology pls.
JH, seeing as you ask so nicely.
AC1, I've already got a science minister. I had pencilled you in as 'Minister for reducing government spending on procurement from private companies'.
I'll have DCMS. A department that will last about as long as Pope John Paul I.
JT, sure, I've just widened your 'portfolio' a bit this time round.
Have they all ready 1984 and understood it?
Wow! I'm flattered MW. I take it since I'm at the Home Office DBIS is scrapped on day one?
I'll get to work on my mainfesto!
SL, that's why I need people like you, to remind me that DBERR is called DBIS this week (again?).
Drugs (Legalisation, Regulation & Taxation Thereof) - Jock Coats
One out of three policies is a start, I suppose.
JC, what are the other two?
It's hard to mask my disappointment, but fair enough. As long as some bugger shuts them down, I'll be happy.
CR.
