"If anyone in the UK is watching, listening, particularly you Prime Minister, I very much want to stay put. … I have been a minister in our foreign department now since February of 2020, this is the job I know and the job I like to think I am good at and the job I adore," Cleverly said during the Aspen Security Forum 2023. On Saturday, Wallace told a UK newspaper that he intended to resign in the fall and leave politics during a cabinet reshuffle planned by Sunak. On Monday, the newspaper reported that Cleverly could replace Wallace.
