Tell me about Rishi Sunak
Don't think I've ever heard of him. Not a high profile character? Seems strange to offer the No. 2 job to someone so, er, un-visible?It’s certainly amusing watching the usual suspects spinning the fact of the incumbent and well respected ChEx resigning on the grounds of not wanting to be bullied by the PMs attack dog a month before one of the most eagerly awaited budgets of recent times as a masterclass in political acumen.

Sorry, disagree. Whilst I think Javid is a good stick, you can't measure him in chancellor terms. Bigger game afoot. Cummings should (by MO) always have burned him.
It might be a negative outcome on budget responsibility NOT in EU negotiations.
Prepared for you're best shot.....
My best shot is pretty simplistic It might be a negative outcome on budget responsibility NOT in EU negotiations.
Prepared for you're best shot.....
I happen to agree with that you that Javid had the potential to be a dissenting voice BUT I don’t think we have seen enough to make a definite call in that regard.
More to the point however given the level of expectation for, and scrutiny there is going to be of, this govt’s first budget the timing and manner of this are exceptionally clumsy and not deliberate.
Short version - the long range thinking idea you advance is not implausible but I certainly don’t think definitively the case.
As a result Boris needs to be careful that he isn’t seen as taking a Trumpian approach. While some on here would love to see it it’s an exceptionally big gamble given all those “rented votes”
Net net - today’s events are messy and not a good reflection irrespective of any longer range thinking.

Wow. OK.
So you think that the prime minister is not the boss, but the happy clappy facilitator of a group of equals who all have an equally valid view. And you call other's views risable!
Being the boss and wanting to get things done does not a dictator make.
The anticipated reshuffle fair enough albeit on a performance basis some of those involved could feel hard done by, but ultimately he’s the boss and them’s the breaks.So you think that the prime minister is not the boss, but the happy clappy facilitator of a group of equals who all have an equally valid view.

However the resignation of SJ - a total cock up
