Astute move putting Braverman back at the Home Office. No voters will be exercised over this other than those who will never vote Tory anyway; it mollifies the right; and forces Braverman to take ownership over and responsibility for immigration policy as opposed to sniping from the backbench.

Not anymore - was once briefly. Not exactly 10 O'Clock News stuff though.
But yeah - this guy sums up my feelings on the matter pretty concisely.

I mean as she performed so well as Leader of the House at the despatch box last week, it’s only right and proper she gets confirmed in the role after the probationary period!

A strange cabinet so far-lots being briefed about adults in charge but the people returning aren’t exactly big hitters. I mean Dowden and Stride are hardly dynamic!

This was his best chance to get a good cabinet in as sweeping reshuffles are always hard mid turn.

However between her and Raab it would help the Government if they had someone who could tackle crime- it’s strange it’s not had as much cut through or blowback for the Government considering how bad the justice system is.

I think in London the Met being so awful has helped deflect.

More like she played it but came up short, given how it could've gone had she hit 100…

Yeah I'm kind of surprised, expected her to get a fairly decent promotion but it looks like she might be staying at International Trade?

Yeah - the one thing we've heard is that she *wanted* a promotion. So it's possible she's still trying to haggle for something 'better', inside No.10. Problem is, it's all mid-tier stuff left at this point. Would becoming Transport or Health Secretary (apparently going to Steve Barclay) really be much better?

At least with International Trade, you get to travel and do some diplomacy. It's where Truss established herself as the sort of minister Johnson could appoint Foreign Secretary.

On the one hand yes, but on the other hand Francis Urquhart was a respected Chief Whip, lecturer in Italian renaissance politics and former Guards officer (and of course, a fictional character), whilst Penny Mordaunt is an ex-PR hack and magician’s assistant.
