Imagine how many pages this thread would have got to if it had been Boris...

That's like comparing Trump with Biden

Just heard on Times Radio that there are "rumours" of a cabinet reshuffle, involving Dominic Raab and Nadhim Zahawi...!

The only shuffling that pair of twits should be doing is out the door.

Agreed. Sunak needs to take back some kind of control.

[rjfp1962]

So Sunak sacks Zahawi... Finally!

Why Sunak couldn't have just Zahawi the questions instead of an ethics advisor... who knows..!

[rjfp1962]

Looks like a reshuffle is coming....!

30p Lee handed Deputy Chair.

Seriously?

Yes, heard that on Times Radio earlier..

[rjfp1962]

Has he finally "Got Brexit Done"?

I think Rishi has shown courage and leadership today.. None of the bluster of Johnson... very refreshing.

He might even split the DUP, as some remain very hardline against any EU law, whilst others seem to have softened their tone..

Good day for the Prime Minister and he's earned it.

The silence from Boris over Rishi's deal is refreshing...! Long may it continue

Pretty telling that there have been no posts for a month, you almost forget what "quiet" Government can be without all the drama.
Anyway back in the headlines.
Sunak investigated over declaration of interest

Nothing to see here

So, where is Rishi’s response then? Hmm

Hasn't been one yet!

It occurs to me that there will be a lot of nervous Tory MPs after the locals who can see their jobs being on the line at the next GE, whatever the overall result. We haven't really seen Sunak have to deal with a party that has the knives out for him, do we think there might be some infighting on the horizon?

Not sure the infighting has gone away - Just the intensity of it that varies.....

[rjfp1962]

If Sunak votes for the Partygate findings, that is showing strength, where as abstaining or voting against their findings will conclude in his weakness....
Will be interesting to see if it goes to a vote on Monday or just gets waived through....!

[rjfp1962]

The vote is now taking place as there were enough "No's" to force division in the house.

[rjfp1962]

And all constituent's will be able to see how their own MP voted..

[rjfp1962]

Rishi is just about to hold a press conference - 15 Year plan for NHS workforce.

[rjfp1962]

Why is Rishi even doing the job? - Not like he needs the money..!

[rjfp1962]

He's weakening on net zero targets by the look of it.....!

Apparently he's holding a conference call with cabinet members right now on green targets. A speech may happen later today - Downing Street haven't confirmed or denied this. (BBC News website/Times Radio)
