Makes no difference, the Tories are finished.

Is he going to make him a peer?

Not an MP I mean

I didn't realise David Cameron was still an MP? Can't believe he's coming back!

He's not!

She has already started her campaign to be leader. She wanted to be sacked.

Cameron might do a decent job as Foreign Sec

Perhaps May should be Home Sec again.

But until the Tory Party stops tearing itself apart from the inside, they are going to struggle.

Centre-right has no natural political home now, unless Starmer is going to emulate Blair ever more closely

I wish we could sack Sunak off.

I wish we were truly represented. I wish we could choose our PM directly. I wish we had more choice than two incompetents.

@BelleHathor for me, as for so many others, Sunak has already lost the little credibility he had. So whatever he does, whoever he appoints, he has no credibility or any political acumen.

Interesting, Ehud Barak former Israeli Prime minister has been giving interviews on how Public opinion has shifted:
“Listen to the public tone — and behind doors it is a little bit more explicit. We are losing public opinion in Europe and in a week or two we’ll start to lose governments in Europe. And after another week the friction with the Americans will emerge to the surface,”

Combined with Macrons statements and Blinkens gentle rebuke, it looks like Rishi is covering his bases.

Apparently James Cleverly will be the new home secretary while, wait for it, David Cameron is going to be foreign secretary.

He had a choice, move the Tories even further right to take on Reclaim, or steer it back towards the centre.

I don't think it'll make much difference now.

About bloody time.

I'm told that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak asked Braverman to leave the government - not just the Home Office and the post of home secretary, but the government entirely. And she accepted.
