Will remain County throughout the day with hill fog and some patchy drizzle across northern Scotland right in Northern Ireland by the. That the u.k. . A. Majority of people find the politics awfully fascinating. Fascinating a troll the biggest news happening education secretary Justin greening dropped skipped off to the back when offered work and pence. Since some said it was more about the Conservative Party but the party wasn't impressed to be blunt said a former party chairman Grant Shapps it wasn't a brilliantly executed performance by like grand Tories So Nicholas Soames was tougher on Twitter I don't mean to be rude he wrote for the needs to be a major improvement to the recent full tomorrow hashtag do it well. After weeks of build up prime minister drew little praise for every shuffle saw her education secretary Justin greening quit the cabinet on the health minister Jeremy Hunt reportedly refused to budge from his post the most praise came from the Scottish Tories leader Ruth Davidson for the departing Greening who she described as a real role model for l.g. And conservatives all the key jobs Chancellor Bracks at Secretary and foreign secretary stay in the same hands with the prime minister making a low profile apartment to the Cabinet Office with David living to replacing Mrs May's 1st secretary of state and close friend them in Green who was asked to resign and December estimate vait takes a job to work and pensions and Damian Hines takes the lead on education. Is that it treated the veteran Conservative M.P.'s Nicholas Soames and under-whelmed question for the editor of politicos London playbook email Jack Blanchard Well he's not the only Tory m.p. Who is giving that kind of response have spoken to a few who are equally underwhelmed I mean in fairness to Theresa May There is a case to be made that the most senior jobs in government shouldn't be changing at such an important time for the country 'd as the Bracks talks move into the 2nd phase so you can see the argument for keeping people have a chance of. Actually Boris Johnson the present search Davis and so on in places and just move around some of the more junior ministers and the cabinet having said that we know that's a reason I was desperate for that comment last year we know the ball is Johnson's time as far as I haven't exactly been a study well and so you do wonder if she was in a stronger position whether she would have liked something much more wide ranging than what we've seen I suppose we'll never know you know speaking to number 10 day insist that this is this is all they wanted to do they never planned on the thing you know bigger than this and so. It was always opposed to be a limited resource for. People will be awfully tempted this is not an image of power though is it if the education secretary walks out because she's not being allowed to keep her job. While it ended I mean you certainly can say this is made surveys of my look strong I'm not sure how stable you know she she wanted to move Jeremy Hunt the health secretary she wanted to beings like Clarke the business actually they've both decided Well really and ended up staying in their jobs as you say she wanted just in greening to be moving tribute to a different department if I was with pensions and she refused and decided she would rather leave the government altogether and take that job so make no mistake to reason May has not has not got the government she wanted when she drew her plans up on a whiteboard inside the 10 they didn't look like the Cabinet she's ended up with so that's not a great position for a prime minister. And of course what you have to remember as well is that you know she spent all Christmas thinking this through trying to work out moving her ministers around like you know chess pieces on the board and then when it comes to the crunch she wasn't actually able to do it and so they've ended up having to make decisions on the hoof as they try to figure out where the battle going to that job you know who else is going to be able to come in which isn't a great way to run a government no just leaving it being a remainer goes to the backbench I mean. We remain saying still active in terms of who's in the news I mean would she be hoping to have balanced the cabinet a bit more between leavers and remain yours I mean certainly she has to do that and she has trying to do that and if she if she if the prime minister fail to that she would face a huge backlash from have party whichever side felt been hard done by but we haven't seen that there's been lots of criticism of this reshuffle pm was unable to do all things that she wanted some people unhappy just engravings gone who were supporters of her but we haven't seen that sort of backlash and so I think she's probably been fairly successful in making sure that you know where 11 lever or. It was come out and another one of a similar mindset as Colin but I mean it's usually important to keep that balance because the Tory party is so divided but the other thing to say about just ingraining is that she now goes to the backbench is probably pretty brushed off with the way that she's been treated reason was potentially created quite a powerful enemy that someone has a very strong remain about been telling for the last year and a half while she's remained past the government despite perhaps not being overjoyed with some of the decision histories about is my vote on the backbench is interesting reading minds feel it's time that she can start speaking out of it more freely about what she really 'd thinks about it and that's not going to be good news for the prime minister. Bearing in mind that one of the reasons for this was was to fill the vacancy left by the departure of Damian Green as a farce extra of state. Is David living turn. Useful addition to Mrs May's right hand to feel like he's the guy is going to sit in far isn't he and Cabinet meetings. I think he has actually he when we're named very many people know but. Some political analysts types who sit in Parliament and watch the proceedings every day and I've seen David listening to very quietly work its way up he's got a reputation as someone who can build a consensus is respected by M.P.'s of all parties is respected by people from both sides of the backs of debates and if it is seen as a pretty reasonable man watching those in the way that Damian Green was actually I think is quite a good fit for that role which is very much sort of trying to chat the 2 sides of the debate if you like trying to troll you know the 2 sides together and since they tell him that way which is obviously proven very difficult. Be liaising a lot with the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government and again he wants someone who is not a sort of abrasive figure a big talent he wants someone who's quite good at that sort of choir of building relationships and I think what we're seeing if there is that it's probably just the bill. And Jeremy Hunt. Likes the fact that Justin greening is left the government and then they say well we did it by accident. It was on 1st day on Twitter it really was I mean you know that this is hilarious whatever the Conservative Party was so heavily criticized during the election for not being very good at social media frankly I'm a sort of saying that the Labor Party in the cohesive I'm miles ahead and that was part of the reason they did so well at the election. And yet we see it get it started off with the conservatives actually tweeting out an error about who that near Chandra was they got the name wrong and that was it was somebody completely different and then had to delete that tweet I mean we've never seen that sort of false before and then a few hours later as you say just ingraining screen sacks and have a hunt apparently accidentally like that on his mobile phone and suddenly Evan say wow that's a pretty strong Jeremy and he has to apologize and tell us that that was from slips or whatever so I mean it's just it's just it's unfortunate because it was a symbolic of the set of issues that I had was trying to get up to speed with social media I was saying again you know and far Northern Ireland this a terribly important time because of the board on the go she ations with the e.u. So how does Jim's broken shoes replacement square up to this really difficult job but I say to here it's task Karen Bradley to come in and take this over as you say it's such a critical time I mean nobody in their right mind would have wanted to change the Northern Ireland secretary right in the middle of you know we've still got this issue with them trying to form a new government instalment it's been such a long time since we actually had a power sharing arrangement that now as you say as well with the border issue you know it's way too rarely been a more contentious time in know that Irish politics for the last 10 or 20 years is . It's a big ask for Karen Bradley who was the culture secretary to come in and have to deal with this but you know this is this is what ministers have to do I'm sure right now she will be she will be being emergency briefed by people who are in the know trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible she's going to have to build relationships with all the different law and Irish parties and it's difficult but you know this isn't this is something that was forced upon to raise him by James Brokenshire is not well he's decided he's too ill to continue in the role it's sad for him and it's and and it's it's it's now on in Karen Bradley's hands who is one of the P.M.'s closest friends in the cabinet they were together a long time in the home office on trees and I was himself a session of she feels she can trust Palin rally to go out there and get a good job I mean it's a big match decline and in in the end of our resourceful there are always junior who are tapped you know backbenchers who come in to a junior position should we expect to see some of those maybe on Tuesday yes I think that that's a definite I think the plan is basically the cabinet will meet we should see some pictures and some footage of the staff the 1st new cabinet meeting is out of the way I think we can expect a ring about to spend much of the rest of the day appointing more junior ministers to more junior roles and allow these will be lots of M.P.'s that most people have heard of going to jobs that most people probably are very interested in in the long term this is really important to the Conservative Party because. 20 in intake of M.P.'s and now it's 117 intake of M.P.'s ever seen this pretty good talent already have an opportunity to and I think we'll see quite a few of them guessing that sort of focus on the on the ladder if you like. You know she my appoint somebody who's 'd minister for paperclips tomorrow but he winds up being the prime minister in 5 years time. Jack glance out from Politico there's also a concerted effort in this reshuffle to beef up the Conservative campaign headquarters including a number of younger more diverse M.P.'s one appointment on site to be controversial though with Maria Caulfield appointed to represent women at the top level as the party's vice chair for women a bill that would have removed the last remaining instances of criminalizing abortion didn't make it through the House of Commons last year and one of the most for Severus opponents was Ms Caulfield it was introduced by the Labor m.p. Diana jumps to the bill that I was trying to introduce into the Commons was basically to remove the criminal element of the Abortion Act as it currently stands so what that means is that the low around abortion was made legal in certain circumstances in 1967 it was 50 years old. But it behaving the criminalize ation of the woman and of a doctor who helped perform an abortion if certain criteria were not met So what the British Medical Association the role College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Royal College of Midwives the saying is that it's time now 50 years old that criminal element is removed from the woman the woman because the women who perhaps for instance get abortion tablets over the Internet are often the most vulnerable women and I'm sure most people would say that we don't want to criminalize those women we want to make sure that they get the help they need so they could take out the criminal element but it certainly was not to deregulate they should still be strong regulation around abortion So for example time limits the $24.00 week time limit would stay it was it without feeling sad because you know in 1971 can appreciate David Steel and people were very aware of the kind of back street nature of of abortion. Up to that time and some places you know it was not legal was a nice thing No absolutely and it was the highest the highest level of maternal deaths came from those backstreet abortions and I think also in 1967 abortions were mainly surgical procedures and that's not the case now now most cases it involves the taking of tablets so I think you know the world has changed with 50 years on all the professional bodies are saying this is now the time to take the criminal element away from the woman and for doctors up to 24 weeks that they should not be subject to the criminal law of course they should be subject to that professional regulation and if they do things wrong they should be held to account by the professional bodies but the criminal law should not have a part to play and that's why I brought in a 10 minute rule bill into Parliament last year and Maria Cofield spoke against that spoke against taking that criminal law away for the 1st time and said that actually women should be criminalized they should continue to be criminalized in these circumstances and I think that's very sad that a woman who's been appointed as the vice chair of the Conservative party for women took that view last year she wanted to restrict and women's rights you know the whole agenda around women being able to determine for themselves what was best for them so they know the type that we're talking about last year not not she said it would make young women feel less safe. Can you follow that line of argument now I understand what she's saying I couldn't really follow what she was saying might might there was today without very limited part to take out take away the criminal it would retire everything at the moment to around time limits and the requirements around clinicians and doctors to be involved so I think she just seemed to be saying that she thought abortion was wrong and. I understand people have that view but in 67 parliament decided because of what we've just been discussing because of the level of the number of women who died from Backstreets abortions that actually in certain circumstances abortion should be allowed in this country and it seems to me that having the $861.00 act which is the offenses against the person is out where the criminal element comes from the Victorian law really doesn't have a place to play in health care of women in 2018 so I still believe that the House of Commons supported me last year in this unfortunate we then had a general election but I hope that we might be able to return to discuss this you know there were introduce this yeah yeah what hope to what kind of protections exist or what kind of sanct
