[Appleby] Cabinet, IKEA and an IKEA Cat

Day 1,141, 09:32 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Sir Humphrey Appleby



Introducing IKEA Cat!

Good afternoon Britain!

As promised, I today reveal my cabinet. I have chosen based on who I think has the most potential for each ministry, based on their contributions on the forums and ideas towards furthering the productivity of their chosen ministries this January. There were a couple of close calls in some Ministries, so I have chosen to introduce a couple of Deputy Ministers to help assist the head of that Ministry. I am very confident that these individuals will prove themselves more than capable to carry out the tasks outlined in my Prime Ministerial manifesto.

Deputy Prime Minister – Daniel Thorrold

Minister of Defence - Artela
