He was Chief Whip at the time of the referendum, which is a cabinet post, I think. He ran May's leadership campaign which was ruthlessly effective (remember the filleting of Andrea Leadsom?), so he's obviously competent when it comes to getting his mates in power and giving himself a leg up the greasy pole, but less so when it comes to running a department. As an ex Chief Whip he would of course know where the bodies are buried, which may explain how he clings to office despite being widely referred to as Frank Spencer in the Tory Party.
