2021 British cabinet reshuffle

There had been growing speculation that Dominic Raab would be demoted from his position as Foreign Secretary, as a result of his handling of the Taliban offensive in August 2021.

[11] On the day of the reshuffle, Raab met with the Prime Minister for a considerable length of time, having initially refused to leave the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Sources are alleged to have told Sky News that Raab was "very angry" at Johnson's decision to move him.

Neill told Sky News that removing Buckland from his position was "unjust, outrageous" and that he had been "shabbily treated" by Johnson.

[21] Alix Culbertson wrote that Gavin Williamson's sacking was of "little surprise" following his handling of GCSE grades.
