Ministers will go into Tory conference in October unsure how long they will be in their current roles before an expected fuller reshuffle later this year
Instead, ministers will go into Tory conference in October unsure how long they will be in their current roles before an expected fuller reshuffle later this year.
Having Conservative ministers wandering round the Midland Hotel in Manchester in a holding pattern doesn’t exactly engender loyalty or enthusiasm to fight for a fifth term. Conservative MPs are already quitting in their droves – the latest total is nearly 50 – leaving the Tory ranks low on morale to fight the next election.
Mr Sunak’s decision to tack to the right in the run-up to the election – watering down his net zero agenda and focus on policies on immigration and crime – has alienated more centrist Conservative MPs. Green Tories are hoping that Ms Coutinho’s appointment will restore some sense on green issues, but she is unlikely to have the freedom to be radical so close to the election.
Reshuffles, if executed well, can re-energise governments and boost prime ministers. Mr Sunak has to hope that he has the authority to conduct one of those before he goes to the country next year.
