This wouldn't surprise me as Cruella and Andrea Loathsome have some history between them and Chris Grayling comes across as clueless. Jeremy Hunt is likely to be promoted even though he has brought new meaning to rhyming slang to the general public. Wouldn't be a wise move to out Boris who would then have time to plot his ascension to high office, much better to have him inside urinating out.

Charlie will not be included is about the only certainty, the rest depend on who has touched their forelock enough.

I think Leadsom has ridden the Brexit gravy train as far as she can now, so would not be surprised to see her removed entirely. Grayling is an interesting one - quite a character and will have many friends, so he may appear elsewhere.
No doubt Gove will be working behind the scenes to get some sort of promotion, but not sure whether it will amount to anything. I remember when he was reappointed to the Cabinet, he said something like "I was genuinely surprised to get this job". Whilst most of the press took this to be within the context of a return to the Cabinet per se, I was always slightly suspicious that what he was actually saying was "I had be told I was coming back, but in a more senior position".

Trouble is, when you reshuffle you still get dealt the same old bent and sticky cards. Time to break open a new pack.

There doesn't seem to be any up and coming MPs that can be promoted to Cabinet, there was talk last week Of the PM promoting more women to make up the gender balance but she faced a lot of opposition on the grounds that it should be talent alone as the criteria.

Tugendhat is the only one to display openly any real integrity. He's an avowed remainer, however, and has not been shy of pointing out that the Brexit emperor is really stark, b***ock naked. No chance there then.

Wollaston and good ole Kenny Clarke are about the only palatable and trustworthy Tories for this old socialist. They have credibility, however, I can't see them being utilised (though Sarah Wollaston was a BREXITEER until that NHS lie on the side of the bus caused her to withdraw her endorsement).

Would be nice to see James Cleverly given a post (though Rory Stewart is still my long term prediction for one who will go far).

Ms Woolaston seems to be too Independent in her views to be promoted to Cabinet. She backed suspension of Universal Credit and criticised Government NHS reforms and doubts abound about why she switched sides during the run up to the Referendum.

I take your point (#10), Mr McSweeney1. Integrity is not required.

Sarah Wollaston is great, and does an excellent job in her various select committee roles. I can't imagine she would be interested in a Cabinet position.

Here is a view on Greening .
She knew she was for the chop.
May offered her DWP to engender resignation knowing she would not accept it.
McVey appointment was the real choice.
Greening resigns so huff rather than indignity of sacking.
May was going to be trouble whichever way it was dealt with.
Brave move, not a cock up.

I see Liam Fox kept his job at trade despite Chris Grayling doing a good job in the Middle East last week.
