Wigston et al might just be lucky.


Naming a new CAS is a call for Min Def and the PM. PM is on holiday, even if in Whitehall. Wallace is not about to start rocking boats, at least until the potential PM's give him a hint as to future employment prospects and anyway he probably has a deskful of Ukrainian stuff and a CGS warning loudly and often that the Army needs to buy replacements for the kit and ammunition sent East. Civil Service advice will be to not take immediate action in current circumstances.

That says to me no push from Main Building, and, as the press will probably get bored early next week, the media pressure will dissipate allowing things to settle, at least until there is a new PM and/or Minister.

Don't give Wigston much hope in the longer term though.
