Was news of the former released to drive Philip Rutnam’s resignation and statement down the news agenda?  You might say that – we couldn’t possibly comment.

Lord Ashcroft: An open letter to Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the new International Development Secretary

I was delighted to see your appointment. I confess to slight bias, given that you retweeted an article of mine calling for an end to ring-fencing of the aid budget.

By Lord Ashcroft | 24 February 2020 | 50 comments

Is the Home Office still unfit for purpose?

If Downing Street doesn’t grip the campaign against Patel by allies of her Permanent Secretary and others, it may spiral out of control.

The new points-based immigration system gives ministers a lot of room for manoeuvre

It really depends on what meaning the Government ends up giving to “approved sponsor”, “appropriate skill level”, and “shortage occupation”.

Ministers must act to spur a tougher, more pro-active police response to Extinction Rebellion

The Cambridgeshire Constabulary have been rightly criticised, but the Government needs to set timorous senior officers on firmer legal ground.

Johnson’s reshuffle. If he isn’t Thinking Big it should be Kept Small.

Let Sunak and Dowden join Jenrick at the top table. And that should be about it. If the Coronavirus takes off, Ministerial changes will be the least of our worries.

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.

The calm before the reshuffle? Our first Cabinet League Table of 2020

The month-on-month stability in our rankings highlights against just how much an overall majority has calmed British politics.

WATCH: Patel denies being ‘on the warpath’ over Huawei

She says discussions are taking place about a decision, but that claims in today’s papers aren’t accurate.

Profile: Rishi Sunak, rising star of the Johnson project

Triumphator Johnson – our final Cabinet League Table of 2019

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.

By Paul Goodman | 27 December 2019 | 73 comments

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.

By Iain Dale | 13 December 2019 | 26 comments

Our last pre-election Cabinet League Table. It’s a near-tie at the top: Javid, Gove, Johnson, in that order.

Whilst individual ministers rise and fall, overall the Government goes to the polls with a lot of goodwill from grassroots Conservatives.
