So, who’s on manoeuvres?

SAJID JAVID

Newly promoted to Home Secretary, Mr Javid handled the Windrush aftermath well and yesterday topped a poll of party members. Voted against the customs partnership plan at a Cabinet committee, winning favour with Brexiteer MPs. Allies have discussed jobs with other special advisers if he becomes PM.

JEREMY HUNT

A Remainer two years ago, the Health Secretary has taken a noticeably more pro-Brexit stance in recent months. A huge victory on NHS funding means he’s on the front foot.

LIZ TRUSS

Extraordinary Thatcherite speech last week in which the Treasury chief secretary took a swipe at higher spending demands and made jokes at the expense of her Cabinet colleagues. She is being talked about, for good or ill.

ANDREA LEADSOM

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph last week the Leader of the Commons made clear her opposition to the customs partnership plan, a reminder to Brexiteer MPs from the leadership loser of two years ago that she’s on their side.

GAVIN WILLIAMSON

He has been fighting a guerilla campaign for more defence spending which has seen relations with the PM all but collapse.

MICHAEL GOVE

The Environment Secretary is loyal to Mrs May but positioning for the future. He has suggested he could deliver ‘Brexit 2.0’ if MPs don’t like Mrs May’s final deal.
