Dorries, currently a health minister, is a very successful fiction writer, which means she would be better qualified to represent the creative industries than many other people who have done that job. But she is also rightwing and pro-Brexit - two traits that might make her less welcome in the arts world.

Truss also keeps her post as Women and Equalities Minister.
Shows you how much Johnson thinks of the post that it's a part time gig, although many would argue that appointing Truss to the job in 2019 was an indicator of the place it held in the Cabinet's priorities in the first instance.
With Jenrick and Buckland gone, it looks like a purge of the insufficiently Brexity, as opposed to them getting the boot for flat out snout in the trough and shitting on their Lord Chancellor's oath respectively.

Depends, she will likely have 2 laptops, 1 for day to day admin/emails etc which would likely have delegated access on it for PA's to do diary/email management on her behalf, and a ROSA laptop which would be highly secure and contain all of the secret stuff.

Still you'd have to question why delegated access needs a shared/common login, what utter fecking bellend makes that part of a system design, and how does it get past even a cursory compliance/audit check? That would probably have been out of date thinking by the 90s. I suppose they might still be using systems/software from the 70s and 80s, other than Priti Patel who rejects software in favour of firmwareASMO wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 10:27 amDepends, she will likely have 2 laptops, 1 for day to day admin/emails etc which would likely have delegated access on it for PA's to do diary/email management on her behalf, and a ROSA laptop which would be highly secure and contain all of the secret stuff.

Boris Johnson’s new cabinet has met for the first time, assembling without masks in a packed room, as the prime minister delivered what he termed a “half-time pep talk” to his revamped team.
Photos of the meeting showed at least 30 people crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in the cabinet room, including aides and officials, none of them wearing masks, and with the windows apparently closed.
Similar images of the last meeting of Johnson’s pre-reshuffle cabinet, on Tuesday, prompted criticism from Labour and others, given government advice suggests people “wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed settings”, particularly if people are with those they do not normally meet.

All the windows at 10 Downing Street were reinforced after the IRA mortar attack in the early 90s, so I doubt they can be opened. The Cabinet Room is probably air conditioned and has other sources of ventilation than throwing the windows open.Rhubarb & Custard wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:10 pm I'd be surprised if the windows in that room did open, and that might even still be an exceptionally well ventilated room.

https://www.cityam.com/jennifer-arcuri ... morrow/Jennifer Arcuri, who says she had a relationship with Boris Johnson while he was London mayor, will speak to the London assembly’s oversight committee at 3pm this afternoon about claims that he included her on trade trips and supported her company as mayor without declaring their relationship. City AM has a preview here.
Johnson has not confirmed that the pair had a relationship, but earlier this year Downing Street claimed he had “no case to answer” in relation to the allegations.
