Reshuffle updates.

[Beebo]

Should be some interesting movements today. Enemies will be made.
Williamson has been sacked so far.
Raab and Patel next?

 

[FishFright]

I really hope Patel gets the shove , she's majorly damaging our reputation overseas,

 

[Ian H]

The not-at-all corrupt Jenrick has got the boot.

 

[newfhouse]

At least it's a chance for the huge talent waiting on the subs bench to step up.

A year ago RobertBuckland almost resigned during the row over the internal markets bill which overrode parts of Withdrawal Agreement. His cards were probably marked then. He has been a safe pair of hands at MoJGovUK but PM no doubt wants a more ‘populist’ justice secretary…

Looks like he was bumped off to make way to soften Raab’s demotion.

Patel staying at Home Secretary. ☹️

Liz Truss is our new Foreign Secretary! 😳

Liz Truss is our new Foreign Secretary! 😳

I wonder if she'll be as outstanding as Johnson was.

What I have never understood with any government appointments is the shuffling about of appointees, are these people experts at everything ?

When I used to work for a living you had to know the job, and when I left my replacement couldn't be just anybody from another department, its seems all these jobs are interchangeable.

What a quaint notion. We’ve had enough of experts.

The executive - the civil service - are the experts who know how to do the job.

The elected members - MPs, including the cabinet - are not expected to have any particular expertise in a given area.

Although some cabinet appointments are made, at least partly, on relevant experience.
