Esther McVey returns to Cabinet as ‘minister of common sense’

Esther McVey

On Monday night, Esther McVey made her comeback to the Cabinet as the designated "minister for common sense".

The Conservative Party has taken to Twitter to announce that they have chosen someone who will fight for the rights of the labor force.

A person named Ms McVey, who previously served as the work and pensions secretary, has been assigned a position in Mr Sunak's leading group. She has been appointed as a minister with no specific portfolio in the Cabinet Office.

It is probable that she will have a major presence in the media leading up to the upcoming general election, which many anticipate will occur in the coming year.

An anonymous insider from Whitehall informed The Sun newspaper that Ms McVey will be at the forefront of the government's progressive agenda and will serve as a Cabinet minister, ensuring efficiency and coherence in its implementation.

Mrs McVey returning to the frontbench may be viewed as a gesture of goodwill towards MPs on the conservative side of the party, as some are worried about the party becoming more moderate following Suella Braverman's dismissal by Mr Sunak.

Ms McVey recently took to social media to express her frustration with the Just Stop Oil protestors' "vandalism". She also shared doubts about the MHRA's ability to regulate vaccine safety.

Last week, on the Express website, Mrs McVey wrote a piece condemning Sir Mark Rowley for the way the Metropolitan Police managed pro-Palestine demonstrations in London.

It seems like Mrs. Braverman's claims about the Metropolitan Police favoring certain political demonstrations over others have some truth to them. According to another person's words, policing used to be done without any biases, but it seems like now the police prioritize based on who they're afraid of and who they like.

Her selection signifies a fresh battleground in Mr. Sunak's endeavors to fulfill his previous commitment of combating "woke nonsense" throughout the entire British community.

In the Tory leadership contest of 2022, he voiced his opposition to the current state of the Equality Act and asserted his intention to prevent the expansion of certain agendas within various establishments.

He informed his followers that our legal system should safeguard the right to express oneself freely, prevent individuals who were born male from participating in female sports, and guarantee that kids are not robbed of their childhood.

Ms. McVey and Philip Davies, who is likewise a member of the Tory party, have been hosting a political program on GB News once a week since 2021.

Nonetheless, as she is now once again employed as a minister, she will be required to relinquish her non-political occupations, much like Lord Cameron, who has resumed his position as Foreign Secretary.
