Frightening cabinet reshuffle?

I do not know what to make of it.Leadsom and McVey were never saints of my devotion.  But Geoffrey Cox, why?Never heard of Rishi Sunak (born in Southampton but his grand parents emigrated from India to the UK in the 1960s) and Alok Sharma (born in India) until today.  Neither of them have great experience in politics.  Rishi Sunak from a junior minister to Chancellor of the Exchequer?Rather unnerving I think.

The concern is the sacking of Northern Ireland minister, Julian Smith, who was the one person in Johnson's rabble who seemed to achieve something by getting Stormont moving again. Looks like a move to upset Ireland both north and south? More proof of Johnson being an egotistical control freak? Javid's resignation/sacking (delete according to thge report you've listened to)  over his refusal to lose his advisers less of a surprise. I see Gove stays in place ...

What to make of it - democracy in action - people voted for Johnson did they not.

43% of us did. Not exactly a majority but that’s FPTP for you.

I don't recall seeing Dominic Cummings on the ballot paper? Anyway, reading the postings on this forum many seemed to vote against Corbyn rather that for anyone ... A good comment on today I nicked from Facebook ...

You might like Rishi Sunak.  Very presentable.  Knows his facts, answers journalists with courtesy.Not aggressive. have watched him on tv often.Think Geoffrey Cox gave Boris advice which caused him problems..

On the basis a lot of you hate anything Conservative at the very least see how things work out with the reshuffle.

Yes I'm disappointed about Julian Smith's sacking too. Dominic really is pulling the strings - should rechristen him Rasputin methinks.

Absolutely, Cummings should be known as Rasputin.To top matters, Suella Braverman, ex-Chair to the ERG, is the new Attorney General.I think this reshuffle has nothing to celebrate.

Rishi; Winchester public school, Oxford PPE, Stanford MBA, Goldman Sachs then hedge fund manager. Looks like Cummings found a radically creative free spirit who will think outside the box and do things differently 😂

good to see that the person in charge of COP26 doesn't seem to believe in climate change....https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/13/alok-sharma-appointed-chair-of-cop26-climate-conference-in-reshuffle

Will Suella Braveman become Cruella?
