There are 23 people who sit at the top table of British politics, namely the Cabinet table.
Why 23? Probably because that's how many prominent MPs you need on your side to ensure control of the wider government party in Parliament—although the conventional explanation is that it comes from the number of departments into which running a country like Britain naturally devolves. Bullshit!
Following Andy Burnham's "coronation" as leader (by fellow Labour MPs, not voters), he spoke about "uniting the party" but immediately engaged in what looked to some like a "Stalinist purge" of Starmer loyalists and installed his own people.
"His own people" is the key phrase here.
Many in the dissident right are familiar with the phrase "ZOG," an American term signifying "Zionist Occupied Government." But how about "CHOG" or the "Crypto-Hibernian Occupied Government" that now appears to have taken over the UK?
I will not go into how valid the term ZOG is, although, with genocide underway in Gaza & the West Bank, and with America dragged into a war it clearly doesn't want, it has become increasingly clear how "oversized" Zionist influence is. However, ZOG was never really a thing in the UK—or at least not a very big thing. Can the same be said for CHOG? I think not.
Influential as they are, Jews have been too small a group to really dominate UK politics. But there are other well-established non-English ethnicities that at least have the numbers, like the Scots and the Irish.
In the 1990s and early Zeroes, when Labour last dominated UK politics, some commented on the prevalence of Scots or, in Tony Blair's case, "Crypto-Scots" (yes, so you thought he was English too) in the government.
When Starmer swept to power in 2024, in what was an "unpopular landslide" (caused by Russian interference splitting the right-wing vote), one thing that could be said about his government was that it was relatively "English" in character. The same, however, cannot be said for the Burnham government.
So, let's go through the entire 22-member cabinet and identify the dominant element of their ethnic origin or background (feel free to quibble in the comments):
Andy Burnham (PRIME MINISTER) —IRISH
John Healey (Chancellor of the Exchequer)—IRISH
Ed Miliband (Foreign Secretary)—JEWISH
Shabana Mahmood (Home Office)—PAKISTANI
Louise Haigh (First Secretary of State)—IRISH
Pat McFadden (Work and Pensions)—IRISH
Wes Streeting (Ministry of Defence)—ENGLISH
Yvette Cooper (Health and Social Care)—ENGLISH
Lucy Powell (Education)—IRISH
Angela Rayner (Housing)—WELSH
Angela Rayner (Housing)—WELSH
---------------------------------------------------
Bridget Phillipson (Equalities)—IRISH
Miatta Fahnbulleh (Energy)—AFRICAN
Bridget Phillipson (Equalities)—IRISH
Miatta Fahnbulleh (Energy)—AFRICAN
Jonathan Reynolds (Business and Trade)—ENGLISH
Heidi Alexander (Transport)—ENGLISH
Alex Norris (Justice)—ENGLISH
Angela Eagle (Environment)—ENGLISH
Lisa Nandy (Culture, Media and Sport)—INDIAN
Chris Bryant (Northern Ireland Office)—WELSH
Douglas Alexander (Scotland Office)—SCOTTISH
Stephen Kinnock (Wales Office)—WELSH
Anneliese Midgley (Chief Whip)—ENGLISH
Baroness Smith (Leader of the Lords)—ENGLISH
Sir Alan Campbell (Leader of the Commons)—ENGLISH
Now let's crunch the numbers:
SCOTTISH & WELSH (4)
PoC (4)
However, if we draw a generally acknowledged line between the key cabinet posts and the less important ones (see above), we get this picture:
IRISH (5)
ENGLISH (2)
SCOTTISH & WELSH (1)
PoC (2)
In fact, there is not a single heterosexual English male among the top ten cabinet posts!!!
Whether this cabinet is CHOG or not, it has a much more "Western Briton" feel to it than the Starmer cabinet and will possibly behave in ways typical—or at least reflective—of its ethnic/identitarian orientation at some point. This may be held in partial check by elements of the Deep State, which presumably remain irredeemably old-school English.
At the very least, it raises interesting questions of ethnic dynamics in UK politics and whether a truly integrated and fully assimilated UK identity can be created in a country that has been undergoing rapid demographic change since the late 1700s.
