There will be more exciting things to worry about today than our usual trotting out of covid-19 statistics!
It makes a change to have something else to talk about. It has been something like 18 months since there was the last cabinet reshuffle so probably about time for a good old shake up. And shake up it looks like being as Boris has a go at re-arranging what had become perhaps a slightly stale cabinet.
Unfortunately the scourge of covid has deflected our attention from the fact that life does go on and we need to make progress in our modern day society on many fronts. Needless to say many eyes will still be on the covid issue because it percolates into so many different avenues of life.
And home and foreign secretaries are now both women – wow!
