Wow. Today is political carnage. It’s clear that Theresa May’s government is clearing out of the old order.

Osborne: sacked.
Hunt: moved from Health.
Gove: sacked.

As ‏@SimonNRicketts writes, “Theresa May didn’t quite reshuffle the cabinet. She took a flamethrower to it. Then buried it. Then dug it up and set fire to it again.”

So here’s the 11 best celebratory tweets:

1.

Was told Gove tried to reach out to May last week. Her team's response: "we don't need a cuckoo in the nest".

Three little words looming large in Michael Gove's future:

1. Bush
2. Tucker
3. Trial

The Michael Gove story should be made into a cautionary fairy tale about what becomes of you if you are a deceitful backstabbing creep

Gove gone. May isn't taking any prisoners – except perhaps Boris, retained as an exotic pet

Michael Gove, George Osborne, Nicky Morgan, Jeremy Hunt. The sacking part of a Tory reshuffle is such fun. If only they didn't replace them!

And finally, here’s something to ponder from “Wow, 2 key allies of @RupertMurdoch in British Govt sacked today – Michael Gove and Media Minister John Whittingdale. Feeling lonely, Rupes?”

Could it possibly be true? A government that isn’t in hock to Murdoch? If so then we truly do live in interesting times. (Although apparently Theresa’s Spads are chummy with The Sun.)
