.....for the Tories.....Rishi is wisely picking a unity cabinet:

...oh dear Sir Beer will not be so smug today as he has been in recent weeks. I am confident we can now turn this round and win the 2024 General Election. Go Rishi!

[naomi24]

Oh it came from him. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t give the reason.

[ichkeria]

Well presumably the reason is known only to Ms Braverman ...

[naomi24]

Hmmm… I’ve just looked at Twitter …

[ichkeria]

I mean, who else could it have come from? Presumably her

[ichkeria]

Gillian Keegan the latest to have a go at Education (so to speak)

I was rather hoping for a clear out and some fresh talent to be appointed. My main criticism of the Boris cabinet was that it was full of talentless toadies. They all seem to be back. Doesn’t bode well for the country or the Tory reboot.

I've had a soft spot for old Ken since he squeezed his corpulence into a racing car and wouldn't attempt to get out while the cameras were rolling.

[davebro]

Ken Clarke is a dog in the manger - time he was put out to grass.

[ichkeria]

This cabinet is a gift to Labour.
Esp the Braverman app

[royfromaus]

Let's hope Rashid Sanook can steady the boat.

[douglas9401]

They do try, bless them, but it's a lost cause.

[tomus42]

Perhaps with the benefit of hidsight all the new Rishi converts can now see that reinstalling Boris Johnson would have been an absolute disaster.

[tonyav]

Ahhhh I suspect the Boris fans are already sharpening their knives to stab the back stabber. I give him six months.

[Spicerack]

Quite a good effort for him, Roy.
Any idea what he meant by 'Go figure'?

[10ClarionSt]

Didn't you vote for Liz Truss, TTT? Now you've copied her flip-flopping! PMSL! :o)

[naomi24]

Clarion, what do you mean he's flip-flopped? He did vote for Liz Truss but she is no more.

The one appointment I find strange is that of Suella Braverman. She resigned last week because of a security breach and she said resigning was the right thing to do then a week later she takes up the same role again. Also seems like the breach may have come after a falling out with Truss and someone else, so can she be trusted not to do the same thing again if things don't go the way she wants.

[youngmafbog]

Suella gives the lefty Ken Clarke a piece of her mind - good, about time someone did.

I like her, a proper Tory.

As for the security 'breach' I never really bought that. She could not get Top Secret onto her own laptop unless she typed it in and trying to send it from the Home office would result in a quarantine if being sent outside.

So what actually was it, apart from a convenient way of moving her?

[theshedman]

If that's the case why did she resign and say she had done it. The truth one way or another would be nice.

[tomus42]

It's only day one and he's already made his first mistake. Braverman will prove to be an embarrassment.
