Shuffling the pack

 This week we are taking a brief look at polly ticks.

It was always on the cards although with Covid there wasn't a good time to to do it but the pack of cards has been reshuffled and thank goodness the hapless, muddled up Education Secretary has been removed not that whoever would of been in those shoes would not of have their work cut out  deal with Covid in schools and the Teaching Unions who tend to oppose anything.

He even got the Sixth Form of children in his own Constituency whose parents gave him a 35% majority protesting outside his constituency office about the computer predicted exam grades that made no sense!

Unlike some I don't feel Dominic Raab should of had to of gone as Foreign Secretary for being on his vacation when President Biden started the great pull out of Afghanistan and the ensuing mess.

He had a deputy and that persons job was to cover for him not that frankly by that point we could do much (and some the issues around Afghan Interpreters being still left their are more to do with the Home Offices inability to accept a simple proposition that people who helped the British Army were at grave risk from the likes of the Taliban and could of been got out earlier).

This is not being away at the start of a war or major offensive where continuity counts.

One aim of this reshuffle is to improve the representation of women in the cabinet which it has although I feel the example of Tony Blairs strongly female cabinet didn't show just being a woman made for a better person in post.

The other I suspect is to freshen thing up knowing were around two years away from a General Election.
