Boris Johnson is carrying out a mini-reshuffle of his Cabinet. 

The move follows resignations that saw some of the most influential figures in Mr Johnson’s administration leave Downing Street. The departure of Munira Mirza, head of the Number 10 policy unit and close ally of Mr Johnson for 14 years came as a particular shock to those working in No10.

Then Dan Rosenfield, the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Martin Reynolds, his most senior official, and Jack Doyle, No10’s communications chief, all departed – possible victims of the “partygate” controversy that has seen the Tories’ poll ratings slump after weeks of damaging reports.

In response to the “failures of leadership” identified by senior civil servant Sue Gray in her report on the alleged parties held in Downing Street and Whitehall during lockdown, Mr Johnson last week assured Conservative MPs that he would reshape the team around him.
