Well I hold my hands up I didn't like Sunak and his back stabbing of Boris but I'm changing my mind especially with Suella Braverman being appointed Home Secretary, yes could be a dream team. If he sorts the economy out and stops the dinghies a major issue with many including me I think at the next General Election the Conservatives could win again.

As I said. She is there to appeal to the far-right.

It's a funny old world we find ourselves in where those who want the dinghies stopped are now pinning their hopes on a PM and Home Secretary who are the children of immigrants.

Mel Stride has been given the role as secretary for the department for work and pensions.

Wasn’t a fan of him for back stabbing Boris, yet Boris had to go. I approve of his changes, it’s a steady team, don’t want any dramatics, just get the job done. If I find out someone has behaved in a shallow way I must admit I hold on to grudges, however we would not hardly have have a politician left if they went by my standards. Jeremy as Chancellor good and so is Dominic back. He and they have to prove themselves.

??? Well said RichmondPark! Braverman’s dream - pull up the ladder after you and yours have used it. Despicable!

Maybe they were immigrants who came here legally though. There's a difference.

Is the Braverman choice because she did give a very good speech, liked by the delegates, at the party conference?

You mean her Martin Luther ‘ I have a dream’ moment? More like a nightmare imo

Michelle Donelan keeps her job as secretary of state for culture, media and sport.

People who arrive and claim asylum are also arriving legally.

It's all looking good so far, although I'm waiting to hear who the Environment Secretary is (the last idiot, Ranil Jayawardena, has just resigned, thank goodness). Oh, just found out, it's Theresa Coffey. Hmm, what does that mean, I wonder?

I'm also waiting to hear Sunak's stance on Ukraine.

Since it is impossible to come here illegally, there's no difference at all. None at all.

Maybe the UK was more welcoming when their parents came here, and legal routes were more openly available than they are today.

Which job? Stopping people from not having enough money to afford housing, food and heating? Restoring clean rivers and coasts? Investing in the infrastructure needed to make energy more sustainable? Ensuring that the NHS functions properly?

I can't see this lot doing that.

No "maybe" about it.

Surely even rabid Tory supporters can't agree with the return of Braverman? I mean, come on...

Is it rosy in Cloud Cuckoo Land?
It’s a shame for him, he had a small chance of a new start which he’s now blown. I do think he’s an intelligent man himself, but he’s naive, appointing donkeys isn’t the way to win over the country.

Has anyone got a timeline of which MP’s have been in which ministerial posts over the past few months? It’s like a game of musical chairs.

Well he’s lost any positive vibes I had by bringing bravaman back
Very very bad move

And who knew Secretary of State for Levelling Up was a thing? What next, Minister of Magic? Mind you, Dolores Umbridge would probably feel right at home in that cabinet.

Gove had that job under Johnson; who sacked him in the summer.

For all I heartily dislike Gove for his stint at Education and his role in Brexit, I think he is quite a competent Minister. Though how much 'levelling up' will go on, in the light of cuts to spending, is anybody's guess.

David Davies has been confirmed as the new secretary of state for Wales.

Alister Jack who remains secretary of state for Scotland.

Chris Heaton-Harris has been re-appointed as secretary of state for Northern Ireland.

Michelle Donelan keeps her job as secretary of state for culture, media and sport.

Kemi Badenoch, who rose to prominence during this summer's leadership contest, has been re-appointed as international trade secretary.

Michael Gove has just been confirmed as the levelling up secretary.

So Albanian gangsters are welcome here? How weird. Like Maudi I welcome Sue Bravarman. Some immigrants wait months in camps and jump through endless hoops to be admitted legally into this country. How unfair it is that people can jump the queue by crossing the channel,escorted by the French and the UK, in order to get here while others wait years. Hope she can do something to stem the flow.
