August 31Aug 31 So the resignation of James Cleverley to stand as London Mayor has meant a reshuffle of the opposition front bench but it turns into a major reshuffle as the major jobs have changed. Tom Tugenhadt takes over as shadow to Miliband at the Foreign Office as Priti Petel is sacked.Mel Stride moving to the back benches is no surprise to anyone as Andrew Griffith becomes shadow Chancellor Claire Coutinho is shadow Business SecDamien Hinds is the shadow Health Sec as Stuart Andrew is sacked.Katie Lam is the Housing SecGood to see another Truss mini budget defender in place at the Treasury, an easy attack point for Labour. Robert Jenerick was particularly adamant about this and didnt see the irony at all.
August 31Aug 31 There had been reports that a reshuffle w2as about to happen, so I suspect Dimly's resignation was a reaction to that, not the cause.Appointing one of the people responsible for Truss's disastrous Budget as Shadow Chancellor is an interesting move.
Saturday at 22:224 days Interesting conference speech by Badenoch as she seems to have manoeuvred the party away from the culture wars and drawn a line between the tories and reform and trying to win the centre ground with low taxes/strong on defence and anti welfarism. Trying to win the southern Lib Dem seats back to bounce back in 2034 unless the next crisis of capitalism occurs before 2029.
