Pretty appalling if this goes through

Welfare cuts worth billions planned by ministers

The changes, affecting hundreds of thousands of people from 2025, would save £4bn in welfare payments.

In among the chaos of a failed government returning someone they decided had failed themselves(!) This is being missed and yeah, pretty shocking really.

With his different identities maybe he could do FS and Defence roles ?

Has she finally realised how out of her depth she is? Actually I suspect she has always known but doesn't care.

With Barclay being moved I did wonder if she was coming back for a second stint as Health Secretary

Aside from the backlash Sunak is facing from his own party


I don’t think there’s a danger that Sunak won’t ultimately get Cameron’s appointment through but how fitting that it’s called into question.

Given the problems facing the NHS I'm sure the 5th SoS for Health and Social Care in 2 years will do lots of good.

Its shameful really. I don’t agree with chopping and changing any cabinet positions especially with stuff that needs long term stability like health. Having said that does Sunak think a change is needed to break stalemate with junior docs/consultants

What I've always found amazing is that none of the people employed in these jobs seem to have any expertise related to them. Surely someone who is Health Secretary, for example, should actually, you know, have some experience related to the job.

I don’t know. We had a TV personality as culture secretary who turned up at a select committee with zero idea that C4 doesn’t receive taxpayer money and is the most downloaded content provider in the UK.

Such a fawning article on such an abhorrent person. Congratulations in order for being more reprehensible than Priti Patel which I hadn’t thought possible, though.

Who is Suella Braverman?

She has lost her job as home secretary after accusing the Met Police of bias in the policing of protests.

Look at the state of this. No wonder the country is in a mess, ministers are in position for no time at all and there's no stability whatsoever, compared to how it used to be.

You can taste the tears in this - but Corbyn, our brave Boris, 'socialist cabal', the appalling grammar.

It's absolutely tragic

tbf I'd forgotten about this

Cameron's return revives memories of Greensill finance scandal

Documents suggest Mr Cameron made $10m promoting the controversial finance business Greensill Capital, which later collapsed.
www.bbc.co.uk

Bring him in before the investigation's concluded is... brave.

Needs to be at least 15% of Tory MPs. They have 350 now, so that means a minimum of 53 letters

Well Tony I seem to recall you voting for him in your Tory years along with @Ian1779 both of you must be surely in Tory heaven tonight

I never voted for Mr Cameron - I never saw the appeal - unlike you before you developed a love interest in Mr Farage
