Liz Truss has resigned. Part 4: The Desolation of Boris

[sunnydaytoday0]

Continuation from last thread, for those of us following all the action on Monday.

And yes I'm a LOTR fan, so tried to continue the theme in the thread title 😉

As ever, Braverman's the one to keep an eye on. If he gives her a big job then he's not a serious leader. He certainly doesn't need to.

No sign of Ben Wallace having lost his job so far. Fingers crossed he doesn't.

Ben Wallace has not been much of a friend to Rishi Sunak.

Yes, belatedly. See my post above yours.

Ah yes cross post!

Agree on Braverman- an act of sadism would be to make her the Justice Secretary. But she nearly derailed an international trade agreement and is too loose lipped.

Raab rumoured to return to Justice. That would almost certainly mean a return to the Bill of Rights that was in the manifesto but Truss axed.
Braverman is hotly tipped for return to Home
Reuters reporting Hunt will stay as Chancellor
Gove rumoured to want to return to Levelling Up.

Noting Coffey hasn't been sacked but could be demoted.

Poor Ministry of Justice. That will not be good for them!

Alok Sharma gone from Cabinet.

Ben Wallace is quite well liked in defence circles so I'd guess that he's stay.

Any chat about who does Business? That is in a huge mess

Vicky Ford is another name to have gone.

😊

Shapps?

Thats the rumour.

Which means Home is Empty.

I'm told Liz Truss is heading off on holiday to get some peace and quiet after an incredibly turbulent 49 days as PM.

Hearing very, very strong rumours that Gove is on his way back to Department for Levelling Up. Think this will definitely encourage a lot of leaseholders and the odd private renter too. Did quite a lot last time around. We did a little breakdown of what he achieved, here

Raab in No 10. An early backer, he will want more than Justice. But perhaps it's the continuity cabinet minus the headbangers of the ERG.

Braverman going into No. 10 nooooooo.

The twisty jenga-y thing was new for Truss. Sunak went back to the old one. They should burn Truss’s on bonfire night.

Raab gets Justice and Deputy PM

No great surprise.

Fucking hell, Braverman's going to get Home Sec again isn't she?

It's just a conveyor belt of the same dickheads over and over. Not exactly convincing people this is a fresh start.

Yes she is. Presumably she's been told to shut up about Indians.
