Bit surprised at that, it's probably political for being too close to Truss and/or Johnson. "Simon Clarke has left his post as levelling up secretary. It is not clear from his tweet whether he was sacked, or whether he quit “voluntarily” to save face. But it is no surprise that he has gone. He was one of Liz Truss’s key allies, and during the Tory leadership contest in the summer he often criticised Rishi Sunak quite harshly on her behalf, at one point co-authoring an article accusing him of favouring “a Labour-lite economic policy”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too but obviously the narrative is going to be "last 12 years" - nothing to do with us. Sadly, they might even get away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Pound rises and government borrowing costs fall as Sunak axes some of Truss's cabinet The pound soared and the cost of government borrowing dropped as ministers appointed by former prime minister Liz Truss resigned en masse, PA Media reports. PA says: Sterling gained more than a cent against the dollar within the space of an hour as several ministers stepped down. By around 2.30pm the currency was trading at a little over $1.14. Meanwhile, 30-year gilt yields, which determine the interest that the government pays on some of its loans, dropped 0.15 percentage points to 3.6%.

Does this mean that the likes of Nadhim Zahawi, Chris Heaton-Harris, Ben Wallace, AM Trevelyan, Therese Coffey safe? And of course, Suella Braverman on the comeback trail? About to find out.
