Reshuffle underway. Gavin Williamson is on his way out. Any Tories on here want to defend his tenure?

Surely he can't sack all the incompetent ones, can he?

he's hardly going to resign.

Plus, we probably shouldn't assume any of them will be sacked until it is confirmed. He may well promote some of them yet.

Buckland gone. Rumoured Raab to replace him at Justice. Badenoch possibly in at Education.

Doesn't really matter anyway - they're all just sh*t in differing shades and consistencies.

Very surprised that Jenrick has gone. And very pleased.

Now we're just worrying about which bumhole we get instead.

You forgot the obligatory bit where you say "Disappointed Starmer hasn't said anything about this"

How much does it cost to get a job in the cabinet then? Do you pay monthly or is it a one-off bung up front?

He's keeping quiet as another two left the sinking ship that is his shadow cabinet yesterday.

That's a plus, it helps if the toxic left members quit before they're pushed.

Gove. FFS. :(((

In the interest of damage limitation, hopefully it will be Environment Secretary-Gove, and not Education Secretary-Gove.

Jenrick was a f*cking nightmare to deal with. So right now I'd take Gove. However he's the founding Chair of the Policy Exchange which is the think-tank that has pretty much written UK housing policy for the last decade. So there probably wont be much change.

Raab is gutted from all reports, but it's bad enough loosing your job, but to lose it to a thicko like Truss, must be unbearable

Sorry Pammy. Was knocked off my stride by the news that mad Nad has been made a real life cabinet member.

Just to confirm, admin is referring to Nadine Doris being made Culture war minister.

Anyway, Admin will soon get his wish to hear what Starmer has to say about a load of stuff. He's about to release a 14,000 word essay.
