The new Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, will be accused of being a stooge. However, he will know that to succeed as Chancellor he will have to assert his strength and independence. He’s in quite a strong position. Very hard to lose a second Chancellor. /5 — PolitiTweet.org

To ask any Cabinet Minister to sack their SpAds and replace them with No 10 people would be a humiliation. To ask the Chancellor, who needs to be a very strong figure in their own right, to do so is totally unreasonable. All credit to @sajidjavid for saying No. /4 — PolitiTweet.org

Currently reading Vol 3 of Charles Moore’s excellent biography of Mrs Thatcher. After Lawson’s resignation, the new Chancellor (Major) was unsackable (can’t carry the parallel too far, her powers were on the wane). But the new Chancellor can & must demonstrate his strength. /END — PolitiTweet.org
