New Culture Secretary in overhauled British government
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 15 July 2016
So, as you probably know, Tezza M has been busy all week putting together the United Kingdom’s final ever government, and what a magnificent mix of mediocre minds she has persuaded to join her up front. What a time to be alive!
In amongst all that cabinet reshuffling, incumbent Culture Secretary Johnny Whittingdale was kicked down the stairs, beaten in the face and left slumped on the floor so that Tezza’s old mate from the Home Office, Karen Bradley, could step over his messy bloody corpse to take the top job at the Department Of Culture, Media And Sport. These are tough times in the political sphere, don’t you know.
“We are looking forward to working with Karen Bradley MP, the newly appointed Secretary Of State For Culture”, said music industry lobbying group UK Music on hearing the news, while gathering together every music-based number they could get their hands on in a bid to impress the former accountant and maths graduate now in charge of the government’s culture brief. It remains to be seen if they can count on her support. ‘Count’ on her support! What a time to be alive.
