First Meeting for New-Look Cabinet

Rishi Sunak's newly-formed Cabinet is set to meet for the first time this morning, but it seems the Prime Minister is already facing a potential rebellion from the Tory right. Allies of ousted Suella Braverman are preparing for a civil war that could result in numerous no confidence letters being submitted and MPs presenting "damning evidence" about PM Sunak.

David Cameron Makes Cabinet Return

Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who left No10 in 2016, will be participating in his first Cabinet meeting since his departure. The meeting will take place at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in Westminster. Also attending will be Esther McVey, the UK's first minister for "common sense," and Vicky Atkins, who has climbed the ministerial ladder to take on the Health Secretary role.

Sunak Hopes for a Poll Revival

As Mr. Sunak addresses his new Cabinet, he will be hoping that their more moderate outlook will help boost the party's popularity in the polls. Currently trailing behind Labour by approximately 20 points, the Tories need a significant revival. A recent YouGov survey revealed that 57% of the public agreed with the decision to dismiss Ms. Braverman, while only 24% supported the inclusion of Lord Cameron.

Retaliation Threat and Defenders

Ms. Braverman's allies have threatened to expose "damning" evidence about Mr. Sunak's handling of small boats, and No 10 is preparing for her retaliation. Several senior Tories on the right, including ex-ministers Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and Sir Simon Clarke, have criticized her removal. Additionally, one MP has already submitted a letter of no confidence to the 1922 backbench committee chair.

Party Chairman Emphasizes Broad Church

New Tory Chairman Richard Holden has defended the party's diversity, describing it as a "broad church." He highlighted the importance of having a mix of new ideas and experience, pointing to Cameron's extensive time as PM and party leader. Holden believes that such a combination will ensure the party represents all parts of the country in the next election.
