To those in the UK - government reshuffle

Mix up a box of snakes and you’ve still got a box of snakes.

Liz Truss - Foreign Secretary. ????

I’m surprised you said that Sarnia - I was in the NHS too, and I thought Matt Hancock was much worse than Hunt, who at least made some attempt to understand how it worked. I think Hunt is more competent than the majority of the existing cabinet - not to say I like him, but he isn’t a puppet.

Glad to see Gavin Williamson go. Most ineffectual Education Secretary in history.
Sad to see Robert Buckland replaced by Dominic Raab at Justice.
Think Liz Truss will be a good Foreign Secretary.
Very pleased that Rishi Sunak stays in place.
Nadine Dorris - culture Secretary ?

I agree Laura?
Very pleased the awful Williamson has gone.

Sarnia

Like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Love it Sarnia

Raab is Deputy PM because incompetence is always rewarded in Government circles.

Several people have pointed out on social media that some times the reward for being a poor Foreign Sec was PM...

Jeremy Hunt - really !
Now out of the cabinet he is very good at saying what should have been done - so why did he not do it at the time ?
Sour grapes in a vineyard.

Oliver Dowden made 'minister without portfolio' - can there be a sadder title!

And replaced as culture secretary by Nadine Dorries!

Was hoping Jeremy Hunt would be brought in.

LauraNorder Please NO! Not Jeremy Hunt. I worked in the NHS when he was Health Minister. Breweries and p**s ups come to mind.

Thanks Laura, it would have been interesting to see what he could do.

I thought he’d be good as Education Secretary. Any role bringing him in to cabinet would bring a bit more balance * Blossoming*

Just rad that Patel and Sunak keep their roles. Raab is the new justice secretary the 8th in 10 years. Doesn't say much for continuity.

He is also deputy PM. Why ???

What role do you see for Jeremy Laura?

Nadhim Zahawi education, could be good

Nadine Dorries, I’m a conservative get me out of here.

Was hoping Jeremy Hunt would be brought in.

My daughter and her colleagues (teachers) are cheering. Gavin Williamson has gone. He just seemed intent on making their lives more difficult.

Priti Patel stays according to Sky

And what a mess he made of that .

Truss made Foreign Secretary - strange times. Mind you Bozzer was a previous incumbent.

Raab has gone, also Jenrick and Buckland. Still no news about Patel.

Truss has been an MP since 2010. Given the number of roles she's had in the govt. she can't have been up to much. Certainly her attempts at a trade deal with Australia weren' exactly brilliant.
