Getting a bit worried about the imminent reshuffle

I heard that Justine Greening is likely to get the sack as Education Secretary. While I'm not exactly a fan of hers, I think that anyone else that May appoints would probably be worse. God, I hope it's not Nick Gibb.

I also heard that Dominic Raab may be up for a promotion. NOT my favourite politician by a long shot.

We will also see if she rearranges the chairs on the Titanic Success (Boris' own words!) that is Brexit.

Never heard of him before. Apparently his main pre-parliamentary experience is in the pub and brewing industries. Good background for driving teachers and parents to drink?
