With Raab gone, who has replaced him? No, really… who?
Oliver Dowden: he’s the ventriloquist’s dummy of the Conservative government. Tell him to say something and he will, without ever having an original thought about it. And he’s the new Deputy Prime Minister.
Rishi Sunak has replaced Dominic Raab with an unknown and an idiot.
Fellow Winchester School-boy Alex Chalk is the new Justice Secretary. Nobody knows much about him apart from that he’s probably to blame for the decline of Legal Aid.
Reports suggest Alex Chalk KC MP is to become the new Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice. Legal aid lawyers will vividly remember Mr Chalk – a criminal barrister – doing precisely nothing for legal aid lawyers during the pandemic when he was Legal Aid Minister. https://t.co/yvrzso78OB

And the new Deputy Prime Minister is Oliver Dowden. As I write this, I’m listening to Damo having a rant about him – accurately.
See for yourself:
He’s another part-time MP, with not only a second but also a third job:
Oliver Dowden, who wanted to keep Boris Johnson as PM, is the new Deputy PM.
His 2nd/3rd jobs include consultancy for a hedge fund – £8,398 for 12hrs.
£5,000 a month, 8-10hrs, advising an arts business.
Faces change but it is Tory business as usual. https://t.co/C9P6pQNZ0N

Sunak had an opportunity to bring some talent into his failing government at long last – and hasn’t.
We should therefore conclude that there is no talent or intelligence left in the Conservative Party. That’s handy knowledge with an election coming up next month!
