Cabinet reshuffle Feb 2020
Discussion
Well that was a bit of a surprise.
While Boris must ultimately be judged on results, this isn't a great look for him/his govt.
Maybe the new guy will come out and step on the mansion tax and pension rumours and Javid will be under the bus.
It seems like Boris is keen to give us all a fun ride

He gave upteen media interviews, appeared in leadership debates and was in virtually all their advertising. In terms of commitments made the buck stops with him not with Javid. He has every right to put together a team that he feels will deliver and he will be judged on the results in 4 years time (not Javid if he had stayed in place)
You seem to be getting rather worked up & defensive about this ....no need to be rude old man...He gave upteen media interviews, appeared in leadership debates and was in virtually all their advertising.

Disappointed that Geoffrey Cox has left (forced to resign?) to be replaced by Suella Braverman, but the removal of Sajid Javid seems a bit brutal and frankly shocking!
As others have said, I liked him as Home Sec but wasn't sure of his promotion to Chancellor however, we will never know how good he would have been now but I hope he gets something worthwhile in the future as he comes across as a good politician.
I trust this isn't all being driven by Cummins??

Even if it is, Boris owns it, and has to wear it.Ridgemont said:
Was it not the treasury which was the source of the bonkers Mansion Tax plans and the pensions tax relief plans? If so then it’s probably good news he’s gone.
Boris comes up with mad spending plans and limits what taxes can be increased. The treasury response with other taxes.You wouldn't want Boris to look like he lied when he can't fund his spending plans would you.

When one considers that Bojo himself appointed Sajid after becoming PM, then what does that say about the PM's ability of choosing the right person for the job in the first place?
An utterly shambolic tory party are making themselves look daft but anything Dom wants, Dom gets!

It's highly amusing listening to childish and impotent jibes from abject failures such as Corbyn, temporary leader of monumentally shambolic Labour, and whoever the latest leader of the exceptionally shambolic LibDems may be. To each of the above, physician heal thyself. Both are bordering on the irrelevant.
