Rees-Mogg Criticizes Sunak's Decision

Jacob Rees-Mogg, a prominent Conservative MP, has criticized Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for the appointment of Esther McVey as the new anti-woke minister, calling it "ridiculously tokenistic."

McVey Returns to Cabinet

Despite Rees-Mogg's criticism, he welcomed the return of Esther McVey, who has been appointed as the minister without portfolio. Rees-Mogg praised her capabilities and her ability to present the Tory cause.

Backlash Grows

The backlash against Sunak's reshuffle is growing, with critics suggesting that McVey's appointment was an attempt to appease the right-wing. Rees-Mogg labeled the idea of having a minister for woke as "silly" and not a serious matter.

Silly Titles and Tokenism

Rees-Mogg further commented that using silly titles for government posts is reminiscent of Blairite politics and is not the proper business of government. He dismissed McVey's appointment as tokenistic and unlikely to impress anyone.

Concerns about Lord Cameron

Rees-Mogg also expressed concerns that Lord Cameron, another member of the new Cabinet, might outshine Sunak and create confusion about who is representing the UK at the highest level.
