No more Forbes in the Cabinet? Fuck yes
Overall this seems decent. I'm happy to see Flynn get a job in Holyrood, and combining Gaelic with Culture & Education seems much more reasonable than lumping it in with Economy
No more Forbes in Holyrood! And Gaelic I think should be a junior ministerial role, and also champion Scots.
What does (Designate) mean?
Pretty sure to be in cabinet requires royal appointment essentially, so Charles has to yet sign the paperwork. They then become The Right Honorable if they are senior enough, but I think only FM from Holyrood gains that title. And I don't think a royal has refused a designate since like Charles I - and he lost his head for it
Huh, TIL. Ta!
They've been picked by the FM but not yet given royal assent. The two designates in the Cabinet (Flynn and McKee) are the only two that didn't have roles in the prior Cabinet
Didn't know that, ta!
