I think Sunak is the only one I've seen that seems qualified to do his role.

I despise the Tories but if they do something well I'm not tribal enough to be a twat about it.

Exactly, ideology can be put aside on the (extremely) rare occasions they get something right.

He's certainly got his flaws but he doesn't make me want to hit him square in the face like Raab or Patel.

Think he's always been Deputy PM - part of the reason why it was mental that both him and Boris were on holiday at exactly the same time. Also Justice Sec definitely a demotion from Foreign Sec.

Edit: I'm totally wrong, no idea where I got that idea from.

Raab and Patel have to be the worst, when you combine sheer incompetence, awful ideology and power. Hopefully Patel also gets the boot (unlikely).

France - can't win anything with Swedish turnips
Anne-Marie Trevelyan has been appointed international trade secretary, No 10 has announced.

Who?

So in 2 years as International Trade Secretary apart from photocopying EU trade deals and making most of them worse, Liz Truss never actually signed off a single independent trade deal. The Australian one is a disaster for the UK and still not signed off and she's the hero of the Tory Party and gets a promotion.
Can her successor find a country to do a deal with?,

Like all reshuffles. Nothing more than posturing and moving the deck chairs.
They are an opportunity for the leader to try to demonstrate that they are in charge and settle a few scores.
Means nothing to the average person because those who have been promoted are equally incompetent.
