there was a big change last year, just over a year ago when dominic cummings left, there was a cabinet designed to reset and that clearly hasn't worked. there was a limit, to how much you can just rearrange the deck chairs in the background. just for optics. and, actually, it is the outcome is that really matter, and it is how you change how you work and how you behave. the key thing here though, though, this is the prime minister strengthening his power base, the office of the prime minister. i spent four years working in numberten, i'm not minister. i spent four years working in number ten, i'm not convinced that adding another cadet government department is the best way of doing it. it could work well if it is done properly already but the office of the prime minister, and expanding the prime minister, and expanding the role of the cabinet office does seem to me to be creating an alternative power base to perhaps an ever more robust treasury and chancellor so i think that minister is thinking slightly long—term in this as above. is thinking slightly long-term in this as above.— a da

that is - certainly what dominic cummings, the prime minister's because it stayed who is now one of hiswords, in fact. enemies, has said. exactly those words, infact. earliertoday. i think what you see is there had been accents and signalling from downing street that they wanted to clear out in the wake of all these predicate affair and to try to sort of bring and some fresh faces, but we have had all of these key people offering their resignations and resigning now. so what you see, i think, you are hearing mps very interested, groups of mps meeting this evening, some of those who we know have been submitting letters, the handful who have submitted letters of no confidence for boris johnson, discussing confidence for borisjohnson, discussing and looking at confidence for boris johnson, discussing and looking at the situation what they think of the situation what they think of the situation out. so there is a lot of chatter going on in the background stop borisjohnson said recently that he's had bad advice, didn't he over the party gate issue. potentially in the firing line do over the
