Who will Rishi Sunak have on his cabinet?

[TicketToRideFan]

And will this finally rid of us Jacob Rees Mogg and his ilk?

Gove is clever and hard working, he should be in the cabinet. Jeremy Hunt will stay as Chancellor.

I can see mordant as home sec , Kemi as education sec, Ben Wallace stays as defence, maybe grant shapes as foreign secretary

Gove could be Home Secretary.

Looking at this bunch of chumps, I’m not hopeful at all, no women and guessing no comprehensive background in any of them 😬

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Ganesh is said to remove all obstacles - good way to start!! lol

How about Theresa May? She seems like a grown up, has made some great spoken contributions in HoC since stepping down as Prime Minister, has a sense of humour, didn't spend hundreds of thousands redecorating 10 Downing Street when she moved in, seems to be a good constituency MP, didn't immediately disappear to the Lord's.

I would be fully on board with that tbh. Not gonna happen though.

I dislike Gove but apparently he's well regarded and works hard so I'd have him in one of the big jobs. I'd also hope that Javid is brought back and that Hunt stays as Chancellor. Wallace as defence secretary too.

Jacob Rees Mogg needs to be kicked out of there ASAP.

Disagreed on Penny. In the summer campaign it seemed to be that everyone who had worked for her was very complementary about her competence and effectiveness - the opposite of Truss really. Watch how she responded to a protestor who stormed the stage - calmly, and with consideration and thoughtfulness. Pretty rare to be able to do that.

I'd thought she's be a good home secretary too.

As long as JRM fucks off

Jacob is the same ilk as Rishi, what are you on about?

I thought Gove was ok when he was in Environment too, unless I missed something?

ERG made a statement about 40 mins ago declaring they would get behind whoever the winner is. So hopefully they will stand by their word and fall into line.

And hopefully that line will be along the back benches.
Though actually... is there any cabinet position which is tedious hard work with minimal chance of fucking up peoples lives, the economy or the environment? Something to keep mogg and his ilk out of trouble?

I am hoping that:

Hunt stays as chancellor
Cleverly stays as foreign
Wallace stays as defence

That leaves home as the top job left, which is potentially an issue.

Braverman will be looking for it - I think Home is the one to really look out for. Rumours are Gove is interested.

Badenoch will get something. Tbh keeping her at International Trade wouldn't be terrible
I'm hoping that Mordaunt doesn't and her efforts over the weekend are firmly snubbed. She's after Foreign or Defence again and quite honestly, just NO. She's shit.

Gavin Williamson has been sniffing around for something today. He's a toad. But wouldn't be surprised if he was back as chief whip.

@breathcalmly I believe that is the 1922 committee who are backbenchers who organise the leadership process, not a pool of potential cabinet choices. In actual fact the cabinet is likely to be very diverse.

Mordaunt for defence would be 😫

Foreign not so bad

Yes but they are still a bunch of privileged chumps making the behind the scene decisions, grggg

Gove was dreadful at Education.
But is hard working. Was reasonable at Environment and Levelling Up Departments.

Cleverly has apparently made waves at Foreign already and FCO are DESPARATE to keep him after a series of turkeys. He's struck me as competant even if I don't agree with his policies.

No to Raab thanks.

Well, definitely not Matt Hancock 🤣

I really hope he doesn't have Badenoch. I thought she seemed awful in her leadership campaign. I'm so tired of all the 'woke' rhetoric and culture wars.

I think he'll bring Dominic Raab back in cabinet; maybe Gove also. Definitely Jeremy Hunt, Penny M, Sajid Javid.

I think she's unavoidable tbh. Sure a deal was done to block support for Johnson. Same for Braverman.

Hardly. JRM is anti abortion and anti worker and anti paid holiday. Yeah they're both rich but they're not the same. Both solidly middle class despite JRM's aristo affectations.

Looking at the suggestions upthread (removals & appointments) that's not looking too bad.

I thought that Dominic Raab wanted Penny M ?
I might be wrong though

Raab supported Sunak from quite early on the first leadership election.

I’m putting them in the same “Brexit bracket” I guess. But Rishi abstained from abortion votes so that’s hardly a ringing endorsement.
