All the major players were kept in their positions, despite the left...including the Tory left calling for Johnson's removal most loudly. He's been kept in the tent rather than being allowed to do his business outside of it. I was glad to see Justine Greening go. She was on a SJW charge over there at education and I regard her and indeed May's embrace of that type of politics as highly damaging to the Tory part's chances of getting the whole of its base voting for them. Any other thoughts on the reshuffle?

The reaction of the BBC and others has been a laugh. 'Shambles' bandied about just because someone resigned. Contrast this reshuffle with Corbyn having to hunt high and low for Labour MPs willing Edited by chelys (09 Jan 2018 12.39pm)

I agree that she isn't in a strong position.....still a cabinet reshuffle a 'shambles'? That's a word normally reserved for something that has gone wrong. I'm happy Greening has gone.

If you mean The Daily Politics Andrew Neil is hardly on it any more which is a shame Often in matter like this it is the style over substance that remains in peoples' minds. I bet that not many can remember the details of Mrs May's keynote speech at the party conference although everyone will remember the coughing fit and the backdrop falling down. Likewise the remaining memory of the reshuffle is likely to be Jeremy Hunt's refusal to leave his position

A very very weak PM. She needed to smack down her dissenters if not some of the obvious sharks waiting till after Brexit for Absolute Babyshambles.

Likewise the remaining memory of the reshuffle is likely to be Jeremy Hunt's refusal to leave his position That is a shame, he appears to be the only voice you could genuinely say wasn't to the left.....though he does a good job of attacking the right as well. Newsnight has certainly gone to the dogs that's for sure.....stopped watching that after they advised people on how to cope with Trump's tweets......I mean...excuse me? They just make assumptions that everyone's a centralist and anti Trump. I do have issues with him but I'm as anti BBC as I'm anti Trump.....Trump isn't charging me £150 a year for pretty poor content....and political content where apart from Neil everyone's either a lefty or a centralist.

That post Brexit or around it time....that's going to be very interesting. I can't for the life of me see her standing for the election.....that would be madness. 'Babyshambles'...that's a new one on me.
