How?
He left for medical reasons didnt he, and she has a new role engaging with local regions and devolved governments?
Didnāt see that part.
EDIT: To be clear, when I saw the article, they hadnāt updated it with the details on her new role yet.

I think the most interesting part is that they have appointed James Lyons to strategic communications. This is something that has been a mess. Iām assuming that this is the same guy that was in charge of PR at NHS England.

Apparently, James Cleverly has been knocked out of Tory leadership race:
Iām not sure that the Big Brother leadership selection method is doing them any favours. And like Big Brother, I am surprised to learn it still exists, I donāt care in the slightest who wins, and most of the contestants come across as egotistical halfwits.
Presumably this is the best news that Keir Starmer has had in weeks.

Jenrick v Badenoch.
Wonder who the membership will choose? I canāt see a load of male, middle-aged (or older) gammons electing a black woman, but who knows?
Either way, the new leader will be chasing the Reform vote and not trying to reclaim the centre ground. Which would be hilarious, except that theyāll be backed by the mainstream media and the inevitable result will be the political landscape in the country being dragged even further to the right.

Difficult to say just looking at themā¦
Apparently Cleverly supporters were trying to vote strategically in that round, weakening his support to manipulate the results to set up his victory in the next? That is absolutely hilarious.

The Conservative party have form for this type of vote rigging. There were similar suspicions with the MPs vote that lead to Truss getting the job.

Big time. Iām trying to remember what scandal he got caught up in. Something with housing from memory. Earned him the name Honest Bob.
That was before ordering the painting over of kids murials in an asylum seeker refuge.

Which one?
In all seriousness though I think youāre looking at the Westferry development where he unlawfully permitted a scheme that would save a party donor Ā£150m.
(Despite the identical link previews, they point to different parts of the page)
This one, but i thought there was more to it somehow.
