Levelling up secretary Greg Clark joins cabinet exodus
Some of the ministers being sacked from cabinet today never expected to be in it in the first place. Greg Clark spent three years in cabinet under Theresa May, but he was sacked when Boris Johnson became prime minister and then at one point he had the Tory whip removed when he joined other remain-voters in rebelling to stop Johnson staging a no-deal Brexit. Clark made a suprise return to cabinet in July, after Johnson sacked Michael Gove shortly before he announced he was resigning, and he needed a replacement.
Clark was never expected to last long under Truss because he does not share the zeal for Brexit felt by many of her supporters.
It’s been such a privilege to be at the helm at @luhc these last 8 weeks.
Thanks to superb teams of ministers, civil servants, colleagues in local govt and partners in business & voluntary sector we’ve done the job👇and delivered a lot more besides.
I’ve enjoyed it enormously. https://t.co/oZnTq6gxLN
