I see James Cleverly is still rolling out the ‘delivering for the British people’.

There’s only so many times you can say that.

Not likely to remain as Foreign Secretary after tomorrow......!

Listening to Times Radio, where it has been suggested that Defence Secretary Ben Wallace may be removed due to him having issues with Rishi when he was chancellor, this allowing Penny Mordaunt to be brought in at defence....

His first address was absolutely superb, an absolute masterclass in reading off a teleprompter in a robotic manner

Hopefully his 2nd address after meeting the King will be an improvement...... Saving himself for that..!

[rjfp1962]

He's just back in Downing St after seeing the king.

This speech is probably the most important one of his whole career so far....

Amazed Braverman is back as home secretary, not a good start with the integrity statement Rishi....

Agreed... She makes Patel sound quite liberal....!

OK, the bad, the ugly (can't find any good)

Gove leveling up
Kemi Badenoch trade sec

Steve Barclay Health
Braverman home secretary

Rishi won't last the next two years

That's what Boris is betting on. Rishi loses the election and the "Bring Back Boris" clan relaunches.....
Heaven help us.....

[rjfp1962]

Rishi has just arrived for his first PMQ's...

[rjfp1962]

Can't understand why Rishi reappointed Suella Braverman......

His first days in office haven't started well, and would have been better had he appointed a different home secretary......

I think Sunak will take the Tories to the next General Election which they will lose, then I see the "Boris Relaunch" happen...
I've never hoped more that I'll be proved wrong on this opinion.....!

The Rishi Year... I can imagine that to be the most boring book of the decade... And it's not even half over.

There's already a Truss book ''Out of the Blue''! A quick read.

She should have called it "Deeper Into The Red".

Rishi's back after a long abscence...

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said this morning that he was "really sad" about the disruption strikes were causing to people's lives, and urged travellers to "check before you make your journeys so you know what's happening".

Asked about the variety of strikes disrupting the UK, the prime minister said the government had acted "fairly and reasonably" in accepting the recommendations of independent pay review bodies. (BBC News website)

Never has so much time been given to announce so little!

That being said, I'd sooner listen to Rishi over Boris every time....

Is putting up his ideas on "Levelling Up" now in Morecambe... Looks pumped up as he takes questions from the public- shirt off and going for it... Saving press questions until last it seems......! (Sky News)
