Iain Dale: My knickers are for the many not the few

Plus: Will Javid come back? Will Boris Island fly? Hazzer, formerly the Duke of Sussex. And: an ice bath in a Scandi forest.

Reshuffle 1) The lesson of this PJ Masks shakeup. For Johnson and Cummings, it is truly Do or Die.

We cheer the mission. But government needs more compromise, art, tact and accomodation than campaigning alone allows.

Iain Dale: My reshuffle predictions. The Prime Minister believes he has delivered for his supporters – and now owes them nothing.

Plus: A sofa, two dogs, no cup of tea – and my Brexit evening. And: the pre-eminence of Policy Exchange.

Our survey. Gove is Minister of the Year.

He is one of the few elements of continuity in what has been a turbulent year at the Government’s top table.

“Get out of London.” Now watch Johnson and Cummings turn the country upside down. Or try to.

Don’t expect Downing Street to bother too much about what MPs or the media think as it prepares to shake up government and Whitehall.

Iain Dale: What now in the reshuffle?

Plus: Leaders who will have to go and reflections on my eleventh general election. How things have changed.

Lord Ashcroft’s Conference Diary: Could Tory MPs be whipped to vote that they don’t have confidence…in their own Government?

And: Gigabit broadband will soon be “sprouting like vermicelli”, says Johnson. Plus: Mordaunt’s warnings and Hoey’s heroine’s welcome.

Daniel Hannan: Cameron maligns Brexiteers because he misunderstands them

The idea that self-government might matter to Johnson or Gove more than, say, party loyalty leaves him genuinely nonplussed.

Judy Terry: Greater civility in local politics would help attract more women councillors

Some of the abuse is nothing short of bullying. This is a threat to freedom of speech. We should value debating different views.

Penny Mordaunt: We must reunify the country – and MPs can start by helping, not hindering, Brexit

Let’s get a good deal, let’s end the toxic tribalism affecting our parties and our politics, and start the healing.

The shuffle doesn’t just mould the Government, it also shapes the Select Committees which scrutinise it

In a nice piece of constitutional give-and-take, a more loyal minister-class makes for a potentially more troublesome set of Tory Select Committee chairmen.

Lord Ashcroft: Will voters still give Johnson the benefit of the doubt? We’re about to find out.

Lessons endure from my polling study of our new Prime Minister, carried out six years ago when he was London’s Mayor.

Commons sketch. MPs wanted Cummings to come to the Commons. Today, he did – through the medium of Johnson.

One could sense Labour MPs, and some Tory ones too, grasping that “everything is changing”.

Johnson’s shuffle. If one asks for decisiveness – for an end to drift – don’t complain when it’s delivered.

We have the Government that we should have had then, ready to counter the charge that Vote Leave scurried away from Brexit, rather than manning up to deliver it.

ConHome’s Ministerial recommendations: how did we do and what did we learn?

The key to promotion in this shuffle wasn’t primarily having backed Leave – it was supporting Johnson.
