The hardliner emerges from the reshuffle with control of three briefs - business, trade and equalities issues - bolstering her chances of being a future leadership contender
Meanwhile, Greg Hands’s appointment as Tory chairman was widely praised. “It’s good with Hands but it’s musical chairs,” a veteran MP said.
Elsewhere, MPs concerned about Chinese investment in strategic infrastructure and industries were understood to be cautiously welcoming the plan to move the Government’s Investment Screening Unit from the disbanded business, energy and industrial strategy department into the Cabinet Office, as long as it is well-staffed and has powers to override ministers and officials across Whitehall.
One Tory MP said the move was a “sop to the right” by the Prime Minister, but some of his party colleagues defended the appointment.They said: “Lee understands why people voted Conservative for the first time in 2019 and understands what makes them tick. “There is no love for Starmer like Blair in ’97; he’s simply a beneficiary of us committing self-harm. There are many thousands of voters unconvinced by him, which creates a window of opportunity for us to reconnect.
