Big Questions...

Does he keep Hunt as Cx?

What does he do with Penny Mordaunt, Johnson?

Senior figures like Zahawi, Cleverly backed Johnson to return, do they get jettisioned?

She's an indepent woman responsible for her own affairs. The days of the Inland Revenue as it was then considering a wife's income as belonging to her husband are thankfully long gone.

If there's one thing this country needs it's to be ruled over by a right-wing billionaire :newthumb:

She’s the daughter of a billionaire, married to an MP (now PM), and lives in the country.

Easy attack line for Labour whenever we get to the election.

Mourdant as Home Secretary . Johnson can get to f***

married to an MP (now PM), She's an independent woman, as is every other woman in the country

and lives in the country.
She's regularised her own tax affairs and I believe has relinquished non-dom status.

Easy attack line for Labour whenever we get to the election.

Non doms should be made illegal if Sunak wants to have any authority* enforcing pain in peoples lives.

*Which he has none. Nobody has voted for this Government.

Regarding his wife's tax affairs, that's a problem of the system and the people who - generally - make enough money to pay people to exploit it for them.

Cleverly has made a decent start (against all expectations) by engaging over NI protocol.. building some senible bridges with Brussells

Zahawai, hero of the vaccine drive? Unsackable?

Shapps is a big mate and backed him from the start.

I can't see Coffey or Trevellion surviving, I hope we have seen the last of Mogg.
