Following the headline resignations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Health Secretary, not to mention the queue of junior ministers for the exit, it is said that Boris Johnson is in a hurry to identify those Conservative MPs still loyal to him. Only Jacob Rees-Mogg, Ben Wallace, Liz Truss, Priti Patel and Nadine Dorries have publicly staked their future on the PM at the time of writing. Will two of those five fill the vacancies?
Labour is calling for a general election rather than a reshuffle, but secretly they must feel that is the last thing they want when their leadership has not made any great impact on public perception. Locally, their MPs are unpopular within the constituency parties for different reasons.
