Impermanent Secretaries: The Cabinet Reshuffle

Paul Waugh, chief political commentator at the i paper, joined us to discuss Rishi Sunak's reshuffle.

Reshuffles usually mean new faces in cabinet, not whole new departments. Can we tell our DSIT from our DESNZ? Was the PM right to act before the Raab problem is resolved? And is Lee Anderson a wise choice as minister for the Red Wall? Paul Waugh, chief political commentator at the i paper and author of the essential Waugh on Politics evening email, is our special guest.
