Big decisions have always been the preserve of No10 and the Treasury but they're becoming ever more so. Do you really think the rush of policy announcements since Boris took over is a result of considered analysis by the departments concerned? Making SPADs report to No10 is not new, but the zeal with which it's being done is.

Edit: 'an Army of 82000' and the Strike Brigade concept are other recent examples of policy being made in No10 without MOD's endorsement.
