lol, but a cabinet wouldn't be large enough to fit his ego in.

On a more serious note, it looks like BoJo could do well out of a reshuffle though the article later states he would prefer to stay in his existing role.

David Davis's allies fear that he risks being "marginalised" if Boris Johnson is handed a new "super-charged" Brexit role in a forthcoming Cabinet reshuffle. The Prime Minister is said to be considering moving Mr Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, in a "renewal" reshuffle which could see her axe as many as five ministers. Mr Johnson could be asked to replace Greg Clark, the Business Secretary, with the portfolio significantly bolstered to give him more direct "ownership" of Brexit.

This makes George Osborne's Project Fear statements look mild. The fact is, we simply don't know how well the economy would have performed under a Labour Government.
