  • If the rumours of a cabinet of nutjobs are accurate, she's going to have one hell of a job keeping them onside, while u-turning on 'handouts' (and subsequently, inevitably on windfall taxes). At the same time all the 'moderate' Tories are going to be backstabbing. And that's just her party.
    Pretty high chance she'll be one of the shortest serving PMs, IMO.

  • As long as Priti Shithell gets the boot fingers crossed

  • I wouldn't be surprised if the cabinet changes very little.
    New foreign Secretary, maybe another chancellor.

  • You think she’s going to keep Sunak as chancellor?!

    She’ll reward those who supported her campaign. Which includes Braverman, Rees-Mogg, Dorries and lots of other idiots.

  • Sunak isn’t the chancellor, he resigned. Nadhim Zahawi is.

  • Kwarteng's repeated torpedoing of Sunak's tax plans surely landed him the Chancellorship, if it weren't his already?

  • Nadhim Zahawi

    Who has been conspicuously absent throughout most of this...

  • She’ll reward those who supported her campaign. Which includes Braverman...

    You'd think that the lightweights like Braverman will be discarded now that they have served their purpose. Focus now has to be on keeping an eye on who could be dangerous / a future threat?

    Keeping Rees-Mogg in the amusingly named Ministry of Brexit Opportunity seems like a suitable punishment.

  • Badenoch will be given something to try to break - maybe DCMS.

  • something with a bit of a culture war angle for sure

  • Lol - Braverman is slated for Home Sec and Mogg for Business Sec. Don't forget Truss has been very clear that she is loyal.

    It's going to be horrific.

  • Although it's looking like Raab will be ditched so every cloud ...

  • We said that about Boris.....

  • Whatever happened to Gove?

  • What is Minister for Cabinet Office?

  • Not much commentary on how close the vote was.

    57:43 is hardly a ringing endorsement from her own party

  • Isn't the story that Gove is back off to journalism?

  • Stepped back from front line politics presumably before whoever won the leadership did it for him.

  • I think someone asked him in a recent interview whether he fancied being a newspaper editor?

  • Looks like Priti has just resigned, still on the backbench though.

  • Braverman is slated for Home Sec and Mogg for Business Sec

    Terrifying prospect

  • They've got cabinet jobs already though right?
    I think the people behind Truss are in it for the very short term and will do as little as possible.

    Plus they said on the news the other day she'd be crazy to keep the Johnson loyalists, and I think she is crazy!

  • Having known, at a remove, Suella Braverman for over twenty years, the only possible conclusion I can draw on seeing the list above is that I am asleep - deep in a coma following a certain night of excess in Belgium that I did not, in fact, ever recover from.

    The alternative is frankly implausible.

  • You can go through most of that list with a) thick, b) nasty, c) thick and nasty.
