Cabinet reshuffle today (15/9/21) - does anyone care?

[cupid_stunt]

A thread for predications, and to discuss the comings and goings.

Surely, he will move or sack completely some like Gavin Williamson, and perhaps even Priti Patel?

Gove promoted, or is it too early?

Whatever happens, Johnson is bound to make a clusterfuck of it.

That poison hyena Williamson is gone according to the radio...

 

[platinumsage]

Raab currently placing his head on the block

 

[Storm Fox]

I'm going to assume it's going to be a deckchairs and Titanic situation at best and at worst a consolidation of right-wing libertarian nut-jobbery

 

[cupid_stunt]

Sky thinks Patel will survive.

Guardian predicting Patel going - can't see it myself but pleeeeease

Mind you they are all lower than vermin

 

[Elpenor]

Johnson will keep most of the cretins as they are useful human shields and must only be jettisoned once they’ve absorbed one disaster too many.

Buckland gone

 

[Sue]

Buckland gone

Who?

 

[two sheds]

yes that was my first thought

 

[Badgers]

Who?

Who cares as long as they are gone

 

[existentialist]

Who?

Eminently bribable housing/environment (?)/development minister

ETA: WRONG. Read killer b's correction below.

 

[Badgers]

Williamson out

Private Eye headline from reshuffle a good 30 years ago:

"Men in suits get each others' jobs"

 

[killer b]

Eminently bribable housing/environment (?)/development minister

no, he is (was) the justice secretary.

I'm not sure the last couple of years have given many ministers from outside key pandemic-related ministries the opportunity to make much of a mark tbf

 

[Elpenor]

Jenrick is the housing incumbent I think, also a non-entity

 

[Sue]

Who cares as long as they are gone

Though he'll obvs be replaced by someone else fucking awful too so .

Saw this earlier, maybe he will dump Priti ?
if he does it will just be because he finds her a pain in the arse, cos she probably doesn't laugh at his jokes.

I think she’s too valuable to him as an outrider of the hard brexit / string them up wing of the party.

Jettisoning her might be politically smarter closer to an election to show a “nicer image”.

Speaking of Jenrick

Radio saying Raab has been offered a demotion and he isnt very happy about it.

Tough shit , although Id rather he gets slung out completely.

She has dirt on him or the party

No way otherwise

 

[cupid_stunt]

Another who?

Apparently she is/was a Minister without Portfolio.

 

[cupid_stunt]
