The list of Cabinet Committees and who’s bagged a seat at each table is out, and it’s bad news for Angela Rayner. She’s been unceremoniously snubbed after missing out on a permanent seat at the high level National Security Council. Guido was inspired to make a list of the most powerful cabinet ministers in order of how many committees they have permanent membership to:

Out of the ten committees, Reeves is on 8 of them, McFadden is on 7 and Cooper’s on 6. As it stands, the following are currently on more than one committee:

• ⁠Rachel Reeves: 8
• ⁠Pat McFadden: 7
• ⁠Yvette Cooper: 6
• ⁠Jonathan Reynolds: 5
• ⁠Nick Thomas-Symonds: 5
• ⁠Angela Rayner: 4
• ⁠John Healey: 5
• Ed ⁠Miliband: 3
• ⁠David Lammy: 3
• ⁠Peter Kyle: 3
• ⁠Hilary Benn: 3
• ⁠Richard Hermer: 4
• ⁠Wes Streeting: 2
• ⁠Bridget Phillipson: 2
• ⁠Lucy Powell: 2
• Jo ⁠Stevens: 2
• Ian Murray: 2
• ⁠Darren Jones: 2

The Red Queen only managed to scrape in on 4 committees – just one more than ‘Red Ed’. Deputy Prime Minister in name only?
