Liz Truss, Britain’s new Prime Minister, has appointed her new cabinet. You can find a full list of the comings and goings here. Here’s how all the developments unfolded on an historic day in SW1:
11.44pm – Truss completes her cabinet
Isabel Hardman writes… That’s the reshuffle over for tonight, with a full cabinet list published here. The official line is: ‘The Prime Minister has appointed a cabinet which represents the depth and breadth of talent in the Conservative party. Containing no fewer than five other candidates from the recent leadership election, this is a cabinet which will unify the party, get our economy growing and deliver for the British people.’
11.04pm – Tugendhat in government
Isabel Hardman writes… Tom Tugendhat is finally in the government, having made a virtue of being an outsider for the past few years. He is security minister attending cabinet. Tugendhat backed Truss (like almost all her ministers so far), which was a surprising choice for some in the party.
