I'm amazed there isn't a thread on this already. The most severe reshuffle for quite some time surely deserves some comment.
I am particularly disappointed to lose William Hague from the Foreign Office. I think he has been a great Foreign Secretary, in a long line of really high calibre Foreign Secretaries stretching almost unbroken back to John Major (who wasn't, in my view). He has done a brilliant job on many issues, but I'd highlight his campaign against rape as a weapon of war.
I am also sad to see the venerable, affable Ken Clarke go. He is my sort of Tory. I've met him a number of times, and he really is a sharp brain, and very pleasant company. The government is weaker for his going.
Plenty of the others I won't miss at all, and I am particularly pleased to see the worse-than-ineffectual Owen Patterson gone from Environment. To have a climate change sceptic at the Department in charge of mitigating climate change was..............erm.............ridiculous is about the mildest description I can manage.
Others will have lots to say on Gove, no doubt.
