Mogg has gone

Has he really?? He should never have been in any cabinet position of significance, the guy is completely detached from reality in his own little privileged world and I have never heard any sense out of the bloke's mouth. He hasn't a clue what it is like for most of the population in this country at the moment and I will be happy if he is nowhere near Sunak's cabinet. He's part of the reason we're in such a mess at the moment.

The same goes for Coffey, if true from the poster above that she's gone.

I am not a Tory but hope Sunak finally provides the country with some stability, finally.
 
Why resign minutes after Sunak has been appointed PM? It shows the cracks are still very much there in the Tory party and they certainly won't come together under Sunak. He'd likely have been removed from post in a reshuffle anyway so why the drama of resigning serparately to the reshuffle? The optics are awful in his timing.
 
Glad to see him go; jumped before being pushed?

For a guy who's never held one of the big 3 jobs in the cabinet, he always seems to command rather more media attention than he deserves. He's generally been the Éminence grise behind Johnson: influential, but keeping out of the high profile positions of power and responsibility.

In the same way Johnson cultivated the cheery buffoon image, I think JRM cultivated the Victorian dinosaur persona. Neither cared about the risability, but the distraction allowed them to get on with the harm they were doing the country.
