Well, that's great news for a 'graduate' of a Corby council estate, literally coming of age contiguous with 10,000 being rendered jobless as a result of the steel works closure orchestrated by his heroine. We have so much in common rolleyes

Lots of steel work jobs have gone since Maggie, including under Labour.

No arguments on that, just offering an honest reaction in the context of the appointment... the HoC is supposed to represent commoners in the legislature; from my not exceptional perspective as a commoner, I cannot imagine someone less obviously suited to lead that representation.

Your definition of commoner is skewed, it doesn't refer to "working class".

Industries come and go, this is only going to accelerate as technology develops.

Which JRM is likely to be very good at. He knows the constitutional traditions, rules and processes very well and probably more about parliamentary procedure than anyone else.

I can see him being very useful to BJ in advising how best and when to push various things in the commons and more particularly how the opposition can use process to prevent a no deal etc.

Skewed? How so? Literal definition is non-aristocracy... suspect I'm a tad further down the scale of aristocracy, whether real or aspirational, than JRM. On any assessment.

Not sure hedge funds will be caught by any iteration of the industrial revolution...

Yep

Should be a job JRM is good at.

You are blaming the closure of the Corby steelworks on Thatcher? The closure of Corby was announced in February of 1979, while Callaghan was PM, leading a Labour government...

It would have been in keeping to make JRM foreign secretary.
A missed opportunity.

The official announcement was in Nov 79 by Bob Scholey, CEO of BSC, who had been leant on by Keith Joseph and Ian MacGregor to hasten the rationalisation of steel making after successive reviews under different governments, including the Beswick plan to concentrate production in specific areas.
My beef was not the closure per-se but the manner of its doing.

The closure wasn’t engineered by Thatcher though, the plant closure was announced in the February, it was going to close whoever won the election in May.

If I meant 'engineered', I would have posted that. I used the word 'orchestrated' for a reason; they have quite different meanings.

The article you link to confirms when the official announcement was made; a report by a local newspaper ahead of consultation is not an official announcement.
