Looks like Raab and Williamson are for the long overdue chop.

Others will be moved round.

Keep watching.

The Guardian tonight:

Truss will keep her existing role as minister for women and equalities, a blow for some Tories who viewed her as too keen to appear “anti-woke” at the expense of supporting greater rights for transgender people. One said it was a “missed opportunity” and she would be unable to devote the time the role deserved.

Who is 'The One'??

Any bets on St Crispin of the Blunt?

SpindleWhorl · 15/09/2021 22:59

Well the intellectual giants that are Dawn Butler and Lisa Nandy don't represent a better choice for me over women who know what women are.

Rhannion · 15/09/2021 22:53

Unfortunately we find ourselves with “ unusual “ allies in the fight to retain women’s rights...

@PronounssheRa

Truss as Foreign Secretary? But she's thick as a brick!

She knows where Calais is

And what a woman is, which is tragically more than can be said about nearly all Labour MPs.

Doesn't change the fact that she's utterly stupid. Look at all her mindless knee-jerk defences of Johnson. And this

@ScribblingPixie

Liz Truss keeps Equalities role as well as being Foreign Secretary - so relieved.
Whew!

Nadine Dorries, new SS for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, in 2018:

This was all I've found so far.

That's interesting, and promising I guess.

Shame that Zahawi is a petro-chem-head. But right now Education needs a proven logistical deliver and someone who isn't Stonewalled.

He will hopefully have to ditch the petrol lobbying asap.

SpindleWhorl · 15/09/2021 18:07

Any intel on level of capture by Stonewall etc?

I'm having a rapid search of all the new big appointments.

Groan. Then her attempt to steamroll the Oz trade negotiator by making him sit on an uncomfortable chair Blush. Incredibly - it didn't work !

@SpindleWhorl

Excuse sp above.

Nadhim Zahawi has been appointed to Education, not whoever I or my autocorrect wrote earlier Confused

Hurrah!
LolaLouLou · 15/09/2021 17:25

I am not a Conservative voter, but Zahawi has a clear communication style and comes across as one of the more competent ones. Pleased he has education.

Great news about Truss keeping equalities.

PronounssheRa · 15/09/2021 17:25

@ThinkAboutItTomorrow

Not to derail but does anyone know any more on Marsha de Cordova? She's my MP and I had thought she was fully TRA but some of the articles are suggesting she resigned because he wasn't happy with the stonewall takeover.

It'd be good to know as I like her politics on most other things and would like to vote for her again.

Yes I meant 'from' not 'to' probably, in my excitement.

BBC reporter still resolutely refusing to acknowledge these Cabinet ministers likely know what a woman is.

SpindleWhorl · 15/09/2021 17:05

Crispin Blunt unhappy? Oh no. Alert the big hitters at Stonewall. Oh, wait, hang on ....

Nadhim Sawhari new Education Secretary.
