THERESA MAY, who committed herself to fight against inequalities when she entered No 10, has picked a Cabinet filled with more toffs than when she became Prime Minister.

As her shambling reshuffle concluded today, analysis showed that she had failed to boost the diversity of her top team with 34 per cent of senior ministers privately educated, compared with 30 per cent in her 2016 Cabinet.

Equality charity the Sutton Trust found that Cabinet ministers were more than five times more likely to have gone to a fee-paying school than the general population.

Nearly half (48 per cent) of the Cabinet went to Oxbridge, a higher proportion than in 2016 (44 per cent), the Sutton Trust also discovered.

And less than half (41 per cent) of Ms May’s new team went to a comprehensive state school, compared with 44 per cent when she became PM.

Sutton Trust head Dr Lee Elliot Major called the reshuffle “disappointing,” with the PM taking “a step in the wrong direction” in choosing a Cabinet that properly reflects society.

He told the Star: “Anyone should be able to become a minister, regardless of social background.

“Today’s figures remind us how important it is to make sure that young people from low- and middle-income backgrounds also have access to the best schools and the best universities that will enable them to get to the top of so many of our professions which remain largely the preserve of the privately educated.”

Ms May sacked a number of middle-ranking ministers on the second day of her reshuffle and faced accusations from Tory backbencher Philip Davies — who sits on the Commons women & equalities committee — that some of them were being “hoofed out” because they are white men.

Downing Street said it was “absolutely not” the case.

Tory MP Mark Garnier — who admitted asking a female employee to buy sex toys for herself and his wife — lost his job as trade minister. No 10 sources insisted the incident had nothing to do with his departure.

Another casualty was Philip Dunne, who lost his job as health minister. He was criticised for suggesting patients should “sit on seats” if there were no hospital beds available while standing in for Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Monday during an urgent question on the NHS winter crisis.
