interested in. we have already seen leaving downing street this month, the armed forces ministerjames heappey, one of those who is not in the cabinet but attends cabinet which is a subtle difference, and allows the prime minister to give savers to a few more friends and allies even if they don't get full cabinetjobs. that is chris heaton—harris, the new northern ireland secretary, formerly of the whips office and there goes penny mordaunt, good morning! robert buckland, the wales secretary, the formerjustice secretary, of course, one of those who switched his support, he was backing rishi sunak but quite late on in the campaign came out for liz truss. it underlines the fact that there is no rishi sunak supporter in the full cabinet, the attorney general mike ellis was a supporter and will attend cabinet. a few more, but we have not seen the big beasts of cabinet yet, maybe she is keeping a small number inside for a closer chat, there is always the issue about how effective a cabinet of 24
