Boris faces an Eton mess
AS the PM ponders a reshuffle, I’m told there’s talk of sending a bold message to ‘Red Wall’ seats by imposing what No 10 is calling ‘The seven per cent rule’.
‘Boris could show he’s serious to Red Wall Tories by committing to appoint a Cabinet that reflects the country,’ a Minister tells me, ‘and the way he could do that is by guaranteeing not more than seven per cent of the Cabinet are from public schools.’
A cull of Old Etonians? Does the Bullingdon Boy really have it in him?
