I don’t think the reshuffle really matters (I’ll explain why in a bit) but I am wondering whether it’s such great news that it’s all blokes at the top of the batting order again. A guest on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week pointed out that when a woman messes up — i.e. Liz Truss — folk revert to ancient prejudices against appointing a woman in the first place.
But when a man does — i.e. David Cameron — it’s come back, all is forgiven, have a seat in the Lords and a trophy job with a magnificent listed pile plus lake in Kent attached!
