Rishi Sunak has recreated Liz Truss’s top team and retained leading allies of Boris Johnson in a cabinet that emphasises continuity over change.
Although Rishi Sunak distanced himself from both Truss and Johnson in his speech outside Downing Street, almost every senior appointment served under one or both of his predecessors.
Rishi Sunak’s decision to keep Jeremy Hunt at the Treasury and James Cleverly at the Foreign Office, and to bring Suella Braverman back as home secretary, means that the great offices of state look exactly the same as they did six days ago.
The appointments have enabled a truce at the top of the Tory party but have also come with controversy. Reinstating Braverman after she resigned her position because of a breach of the ministerial code was described as a “grubby deal” by Labour.
