A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I was just thinking. In the UK government every cabinet minister, which are those with specific jobs like head of education, or health, also has an opposite "shadow" person from the other main party whose job is to argue with the other. Imagine you had the job of Shadow head of education. Must be an easy job, you just argue with the other guy. But then your party wins the election and things just got real. You got to do the job for serious now.

I have no idea. It's a shower thought, not sure if it's reflecting reality.

If I were a labour shadow cabinet member 2 years ago I'd be thinking I don't have a chance of actually performing the primary role. But oh boy, times change quickly.

Another post has a good point. It's likely there will be a shake up of the labour cabinet early on so if they think anyone isn't prepared, they will be swapped out.
