The View from 22 – Cameron’s first reshuffle, Heathrow and the richer sex

Has David Cameron’s reshuffle been a move to the right, a rearrangement of chairs on a sinking ship or will it make no difference at all? On this week’s View from 22 podcast, Fraser Nelson provides his take on what the reshuffle says about the future direction of Cameron’s premiership:

‘I think we’ve seen David Cameron stamp his authority on the government. This is a very unusual government, because it’s very close at the top and very loose at the bottom. You did have a situation where the coalition had started to become more warring groups than joint partners. David Cameron has sent in strategically placed shock troops to try to rein people in. For example Vince Cable now has two pro-reform Tories to look after him.

‘You can definitely see the Prime Minister trying not to change course, but to speed up on his original direction. I really hope it’s true what James says [in his column] that he now realises he may he a one term Prime Minister.
