Chief something alright
its the 2IC to the Chancellor v disappointing in some ways as Total GAUKEXIT was the preferred o/come
however, he should now be tied up with endless pay and budget tribulations as well as government procurement policy - how money is spent rather than how its raised - he will be chuffed no doubt but we must ensure his legacy follows him. Let's see who the other treasury ministers will be.Comment

The only hint of relief here is that his direct responsibility for tax may now move to somebody else because his new job gives him wider powers and he won't be able to spend all his time devising tax tortures.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Most optimistic outcome is a softening of the approach moving forwards.Comment

I'm not so sure that Gauke will remain so closely connected to the tax side.
Previously he was engaged in a minor Treasury role where tax was the sole job. When he got promoted to Financial Secretary, we was supposed to relinquish that role and move on. However the structure was altered to allow him to have control of tax. Now he's been "promoted" again, unless he again manages to revamp the structure - less likely now that a new Chancellor is in place - he will be shuffled off the board.
We do though need to be careful of what we wish for. What we might get is an MP who is young and hungry to make a mark as opposed to Gauke who may be a temporary placeholder whilst Hammond gets his feet under the table, or he may be seen as an established Tory MP who is on a path to higher office.
