Cabinet League Table: Johnson takes the gold – with Javid in second place

Not a good month for the Foreign Secretary, who slips from third place to eighth. But this is probably just due to the rising popularity of others.

Javid keeps the gold but Johnson and Rees-Mogg fail to medal in our Cabinet League Table

The data for this was collected before the Government’s string of Commons defeats – next month’s may look rather different.

The Prime Minister completes the mini-reshuffle she started last week. Will she now give the new appointees a chance to grow into the role?

Over-shuffling the whips’ office has undermined its effectiveness
