Boris Johnson reshuffled his cabinet as the Prime Minister sought to build a new top team following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mr Johnson started the reshuffle following PMQs on Wednesday where he sacked ministers from their posts.
"The PM will be appointing ministers this afternoon with a focus on uniting and levelling up the whole country," a Cabinet source said.
Rumours of a reshuffle, and who might be on their way up or on their way out, have been swirling for weeks.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak sat next to the PM at Prime Minister’s Questions at lunchtime. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson was first to be removed from his job with Dominic Raab leaving his post as Foreign Secretary.
Mr Williamson has been much criticised over the last year for his handling of school closures and exams during the pandemic.
