Do reshuffles make any difference?

Update: 2025-07-23

Description

As Kemi Badenoch conducts her first extensive reshuffle we explore the degree to which her moves will improve the Tories’ fortunes, or make them worse, with a focus on the role of Robert Jenrick. Plus, is Keir Starmer right not to conduct a cabinet reshuffle after his first year in power? Much agreeable disagreement.
