Oh definitely, Robbins will never be forgiven for Brexit. Arguably, he has been out for too long too, and is less experienced in the domestic/non Home Office-y policy that this government will need to really grapple with.

I wonder what ACOBA/ the Daily Mail would say if Gray applied for and got the Cab Sec job? (that would, of course, be 1000% the banter outcome)
