Rishi Sunak appoints backers of leadership rivals in Cabinet

Many of the faces he appointed were well-known MPs who had previously held Cabinet posts — an indication that he wants to have people with experience at the helm to steady the ship during turbulent times in the UK, unlike his predecessors who appointed loyalists regardless of competence. There is speculation Sunak has done this to ensure that he does not inadvertently create a group of disgruntled rebel MPs denied cabinet posts who subsequently plot to oust him, as has happened in the past.
