Post by: JayMac on October 20, 2024, 14:54:03 Quote A senior minister told The Sun: “If there was a reshuffle tomorrow I think she would be gone. Huge pinch of salt when it comes to one wagging tongue off the record.The story goes on to say that "most ministers" (again, no names) expect there won't be a reshuffle until after the May 2025 local elections.
