Listen "Moving ministers: what makes a good reshuffle?"

Episode Synopsis

Boris Johnson’s priority was clear when he appointed his first cabinet in 2019: delivering Brexit. Now, months after the UK has left the Brexit transition period, and a year into a global pandemic, the prime minister is reportedly planning to reshuffle his ministerial team.
What should the prime minister be looking for as he plans to reshuffle his cabinet? What lessons can be learnt from previous reshuffles? Who might we see in the next cabinet? And what is it like being a minister during a reshuffle?
Our panel to discuss these questions:


Katy Balls, Deputy Political Editor at The Spectator



Salma Shah, former Special Adviser to Sajid Javid


Ben Riley-Smith, Political Editor at the Daily Telegraph



The Rt Hon Lord Young of Cookham, former Leader of the House of Commons and Chief Whip

The event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.
