00:00 Politics is politics, I don't really pay much attention to it.
00:07 My whole family supports the Tories anyway, but to be honest with me, I don't really pay
00:15 too much attention.
00:16 So, I don't know if you've been in touch, but I'm not bothered about it.
00:25 But yeah, the current state of affairs, it's a bit of a mess really, the country.
00:31 And it's going downhill quicker by the day.
00:36 Who's in and who's out of cabinet?
00:38 Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has had a bit of a shake-up for the top jobs, with some big
00:42 names being hired and fired at Westminster.
00:45 One of the changes to draw the most attention, former Prime Minister David Cameron has made
00:49 a comeback as Foreign Secretary, despite no longer being an MP.
00:53 Now appointed a member of the House of Lords as a life payer, allows him to act as a minister
00:57 once more.
00:58 Well, I can't understand how a man who was Prime Minister wanted to be Foreign Secretary.
01:01 Is he short of money?
01:03 Or why?
01:04 Or is he just not, the rest of them not got any experience to do anything right?
01:10 I mean, to me, I can't understand how a Lord can then go into the cabinet.
01:15 Surely he's in the House of Lords and therefore you can't be a representative of the House
01:20 of Commons and the House of Lords.
01:21 So I'm not sure how that...
01:23 I don't think he's an MP.
01:25 I don't know how it works.
01:27 He must have been bored since he left.
01:32 Well, if he's skint then, you know.
01:36 The news of Cameron's appointment came shortly after the shock-sacking of Home Secretary
01:40 Suella Braverman, replaced by James Cleverley.
01:43 Braverman drew criticism for an article she wrote for the Times, condemning the police
01:47 for their handling of pro-Palestine protests in the capital and accusing them of playing
01:52 favourites with left-wing groups over right-wing and national activists.
01:56 On the topic of Suella Braverman being sacked, I think the government are actually scared
02:02 of somebody who speaks their mind and wants to do something.
02:06 And I think quite a lot of people were behind her.
02:09 I think she should have done, you know, getting illegal people out of this country.
02:14 They're not supposed to be here.
02:16 So why not get rid of them?
02:17 And because she spoke her mind, we're scared of that.
02:21 Do you agree with her getting sacked?
02:24 Without the Palestinian question, she should have been sacked.
02:34 Just because of her whole mannerism and the way she comes across.
02:38 I wouldn't expect a politician to act the way she acts at times.
02:43 She's a bit of a loose cannon.
02:47 Other changes in cabinet include Steve Barclay as Environment Minister, Victoria Atkins as
02:52 Health Sec, new party chairman Richard Holden, Esther McVey as a roving minister without
02:56 portfolio and John Glenn moves to Paymaster General with Laura Trott moving into his old
03:01 post of Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
