I agree that whoever replaces Johnson - if that happens - will find distancing themselves from the Johnson regime electorally desirable (except for Brexit itself) so those who have been most vocal in defence of Johnson may find themselves outside the cabinet. Dorries, Rees-Mogg and Shapps amongst others. And it would not entirely surprise me if Rory Stewart and a few others who were jettisoned were invited back into the fold a as s candidates or advisors.
