#NorthernIrelandSecretary
If a successor was looking for a new #ChancelloroftheExchequer, #YvetteCooper would be a possibility, maybe #HilaryBenn would be quite a good replacement as #ForeignSecretary, maybe #JohnHealey as #NorthernIrelandSecretary, maybe #RachelReeves could move to #WorkandPensionsSecretary.
Predictions:
1. There won't be a full leadership contest
2. Keir Starmer will not be foreign secretary, or take any other cabinet job
3. Rachel Reeves won't stay in the Treasury
4. There will not be an early general election
5. Josh Simons will get a number 10 job
6. This will prove to be a mistake
