gavin williamson had been...was questioned, but he had been seen as a very loyal minister, loyal to borisjohnson, so mrjohnson had been perceived to be sort of hanging on to mr williamson. the question then, i guess, will be where does he go? the foreign secretary particularly criticised recently in the last few weeks since the taliban captured kabul and western forces were forced to withdraw, that a lift that we saw, questions about him being on holiday as that was happening. —— that airlift that we saw. and questions about the lack of preparedness for that and the urgent need to try to get people out of danger in afghanistan. sol need to try to get people out of danger in afghanistan. so i think thatis danger in afghanistan. so i think that is where he has been, that is where he has come in for particular criticism lately and that is why people have an eye on his role. also questions about the home secretary, priti patel, and whether she could be another high—profile figure to be moved. and then i guess the que

so what did you make of gavin williamson? i i you make of gavin williamson?williamson will be surprised that he's no longer in that role to live. i think even he would accept that there were a number of mistakes while she was at the department for education that were very costly. i think he had overtime lost the trust of not only teachers but also parents, unfortunately. i think that's just a fact. and therefore in terms of how the government now needs to get education back on track and when that trust back up teachers and parents crucially. clearly there was a need to have a fresh face at the department. we will see whether they're going to be more changes in ministerial race in the next day or so. but i think that borisjohnson is right, the reshuffling his team to get the people he wants in those crucial roles that will either make or break whether his government is able to deliver on this promise of leveling up. able to deliver on this promise of leveling um— able to deliver on this promise of levelin: u. , ., , , leveling up. yes housing communities in lo
