ANOTHER new job for Davey
The Surrey Comet reports
“A reshuffle of the Liberal Democrat shadow cabinet last week saw local MPs Edward Davey and Susan Kramer stay on in the cabinet but change their responsibilities.
Mr Davey held on to his role as campaigns and communications chairman, but swapsped (Comet spelling!)the trade and industry portfolio for the position of chief of staff.
He said: “I am delighted with my new role”.”
Mr. Davey has been Lib Dem spokesperson on Trade and Industry ever since March 2006. His party wanted to abolish the Department of Trade and Industry. One is tempted to speculate whether our MP will keep this new job for longer than 9 months and whether this can be seen as a reward for his role in helping to bring the Ming Emperor to ‘power’ 12 months ago.
