The UK Cabinet has four people of ethnic origin - all Indian heritage: Rushi Sunak, Priti Patel, Alok Sharma & Suella Braverman. We look forward to seeing you deliver for Global Britain.
It has lost Sajid Javid, Kwasi Kwarteng & James Cleverly.
We thank you for your service.
Honoured to be asked to continue as Minister of State @foreignoffice and also now as Minister of State @DFID_UK - I look forward to strengthening the 🇬🇧 UK’s role on the world stage in diplomacy & development
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be Chairman of @Conservatives, especially during a general election.
The move to the @foreignoffice and @DFID_UK is exciting beyond belief and gives me a chance to work in an area of government I’m really passionate about.
It has been a privilege to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Prime Minister & government will continue to have my full support from the backbenches.
Huge privilege to have been Transport Minister and we’ve achieved so much In 2 years. Thanks to the great team in the Dept and now I get to spend more time with family and constituents.
It is actually genius what Boris and team have done. A few years ago, “becoming less relevant” was levelled by some at Conservatives. There has been such a pragmatic adaption to the needs of the country away from SW1 preoccupations. One Nation plus Brexit. Serving ordinary people
“Labour may die. It’s lost its home, it’s lost its heartlands… what we need in terms of leadership is people who are prepared to recognise the scale of the defeat… Labour is in danger of becoming completely irrelevant to the conversation.”
