Rishi Sunak's decision to expunge rightwingers from the Cabinet table over the past six months is that they have to offer their thoughts instead in public.
Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman's interview with me for GB News today on the eve of what could be the last Budget before the general election is calculated to do just that.
Braverman's solution to the problems facing the UK will cheer plenty of right wing Tory MPs, still concerned that there is no one from the party's authentic Right in Sunak's top team.
Sunak and his Chancellor Jeremy Hunt should cut 2p off income tax - double the 1p off income tax that Sunak had said he would do in this Budget at the 2022 Spring Budget, she said.

And she said that it was time to unfreeze income tax thresholds to ensure that more nurses and teachers kept more of their income in a period of high inflation.
Other fiscal ideas from Braverman were more innovative. She said that companies which rely on foreign labour should pay more in tax, to encourage them to hire more British workers.
Braverman was less clear on how she would pay for the tax cuts. Removing public subsidies from rail companies would be politically difficult to land in a week when fares have soared again, for example.
Away from the Budget, Braverman had few warm words for Sunak on the small boats crisis, on the day that the number of illegal arrivals on the south coast on Sunak's watch as PM cleared 40,000.
She made clear again her view she felt the Rwanda Bill - which peers in the House of Lords will seek to water down again tomorrow - will not work.

Her prescription - which Sunak has refused to sign up to - remains that illegally arrived migrants should be banned from using human rights laws to stay here.
Turning to last Friday's statement on the step of Downing St from Sunak, and his claim that extremist are tearing the UK apart, she said she wanted to see the PM back up his words with actions.
Where was an "emergency law" to ban hate marches, Braverman asked. Plenty on the right of the Tory party would have agreed with her.
Braverman was gloomy about the Tory party's prospects in both the May local elections and the general election, which I expect to be in November.
The polls were "very, very worrying", she said, and people were "very, very concerned".

Perhaps with one eye on the probable on the expected Tory leadership campaign if Labour is swept to power she offered a friendly hand to Lee Anderson, the party's former deputy chairman.
Rather than echo the demands from Hunt and the Home Secretary James Cleverly that Anderson (now an independent MP) should apologise (clue - he won't) she said that Anderson was not racist, nor Islamophobic for claiming that London Mayor Sadiq Khan was controlled by Islamists.
Overall though Braverman's blast from senior right winger on the Tory backbenches was designed to wake up Sunak and the team around him to adopt a bolder approach to taking on Labour's Sir Keir Starmer.
We will know this time tomorrow if he has chosen to listen.
