Eton wins again: Nearly two-thirds of Johnson’s cabinet went to private school
• Team Boris is posher than Cameron’s cabinet, study finds
• Cabinet ministers now NINE times more likely to be privately educated than rest of population
• Most elite inner circle since John Major’s reign
Boris Johnson sits with his cabinet, two-thirds of which were privately educated
ALMOST two-thirds of Boris Johnson’s Cabinet ministers are privately educated, making it even posher than David Cameron’s austerity hit squad in 2010.
A study by social mobility campaign group the Sutton Trust warns that we have to go back to John Major’s team in the 1990s to find a more elite group running Britain.
“The make-up of Johnson’s Cabinet underlines once again how unevenly spread the opportunities are to enter the elites,” the group said.
