It’s a bold move, but I wonder if a reshuffle this early is actually about strategy or just managing internal friction. Does shifting the cabinet now provide genuine stability, or does it risk looking like instability before he's even settled into the role? Interesting to see how this plays out.

That's a bold take, Richard! Do you think the UK would be more stable as a full republic, or just a more symbolic monarchy?
