Cabinet reshuffle ahoy!

[Jaysmith71]

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

Others will be moved round.

Keep watching.

I hope Liz Truss stays Minister for Women & Equalities.

Dreading Mordaunt getting a bigger say in anything.

Actually, I am really dreading that Liz Truss will lose her role as Minister for Women and Equalities.

A few years back the idea that I'd be keen for Liz Truss to remain in an important position would have been unthinkable. I don't think she's great but the alternatives make me shudder.

There were rumours that she would be moved. In part because she is not a friend of Carrie, who is not believed to be GC. There has been a lot of Stonewall pressure behind the scenes.

The issue for Boris is that Liz appears genuinely popular within the Tory ranks. Let's hope he has figured out why.

Kemi Badenoch at Education would be good news.

This is interesting from the Guardian yesterday:

Marsha de Cordova, the shadow equalities secretary, has resigned from Keir Starmer’s shadow cabinet with immediate effect citing a desire to focus on her marginal constituency.

The Guardian understands that the shadow women’s minister, Charlotte Nichols, has also stepped down for personal reasons unconnected to any political dispute.

However, the Guardian then slips in right at the end,

One senior MP said the role would be difficult to fill, citing tensions at a senior level over the party’s stance on transgender rights.

Number Ten must surely be aware of the political sense of allowing Truss to continue to hold the line on this, at a time when (a) Labour is imploding over it, and (b) multiple Conservative Police & Crime Commissioners are speaking out against TRA ideology and Stonewall#2, and (c) the CPS has acknowledged that Stonewall have been misadvising public bodies?

Even Number Ten can read the room, surely?

Thank you @spindlewhorl would you be able to share a link to the Guardian piece please?

I found it...

Robert Buckland's gone from Justice. The one who let males into the female prison estate

Rumours are that Raab might get it??

I hope Truss keeps her brief.

She knows women have vaginas and in the year 2021, we have to be thankful for that.

The Boy Gavin is gone. Cue party in the staffroom. And the person who nobody had ever heard of who was party chair and ballsed-up the Amersham by-election is also bruschetta.

Jenrick has gone in Housing.

Amanda Milling has just gone in.

Sky say Raab C Nitwit has been sacked, but is stamping his feet and holding his breath until he dies because he still wants another big job.

Raab has gone into Number 10. Striding along.

I wonder if Milling will get Housing after the Amersham debacle?

Raab is toast, surely?

Oh no, hold my horses .... Raab is Justice Secretary, Lord Chancellor and Deputy PM!

Here's hoping he will eschew Stonewall 'Law'.

Raab to Justice and "deputy PM"

At this rate Priti Patel will be Foreign Secretary next ...

@SpindleWhorl

At this rate Priti Patel will be Foreign Secretary next ...

Didn't she have to resign as foreign secretary a few years back? When it was still DFID- trips to Israel or something?

Rumour....Liz Truss to move to Foreign Office?

Patel stays as Home Sec. For now.

I hope Truss takes the Women & Equalities portfolio with her.

So glad Bucklands gone ….

Liz Truss promoted to Foreign Secretary.

Aww no ….. what does this mean for women?
