Mr Sunak is beginning his reshuffle with a general election likely to take place within the next 12 months. The cabinet makeup now will probably be the team to fight the next vote.
Suella Braverman has been sacked as home secretary - with James Cleverly appointed as her replacement. She was asked to leave the job this morning by Rishi Sunak. Mr Cleverly, who had been foreign secretary, was moved to take over the Home Office brief. Shortly after, former prime minister David Cameron was appointed foreign secretary - and handed a 'barony' so he can serve in government again. A former prime minister returning to government in this way is highly unusual.
The prime minister came under pressure to act after Ms Braverman was accused of undermining the operational independence of - and public confidence in - the police. Critics, from both opposition parties and fellow Tory MPs, called Ms Braverman's comments 'offensive' and 'inflammatory'.
