15.30 Paul Goodman reporting
This will be a much rougher and readier take than this site’s recent Cabinet reshuffle blog.
I’m particularly interested in who the appointee voted for, whether they’re a retread who was previously dimissed or not, and whether they’ve been a whip.
The former whips are not always well listed elsewhere so all information welcome.
First tranche of appointments:
- Robert Jenrick, Minister of State at Health and Social Care. Backed Sunak – part of a Johnson-backing “gang of three” in 2019 with the former Chancellor and Oliver Dowden; former Cabinet Minister and retread.
- Rachel Maclean, Minister of State at Justice. Backed Truss after backing Javid.
- Victoria Prentis, Minister of State at Work and Pensions. Backed Sunak.
- Julia Lopez, Minister of State at Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Backed Truss after backing Badenoch.
- Michael Tomlinson, Solicitor General. Former whip, not listed as either a Sunak or Truss supporter.
