Alister Jack stays as Scottish Secretary despite departure of Boris Johnson loyalists

Rishi Sunak has kept Boris Johnson loyalist Alister Jack as Scottish Secretary - despite a raft of allies of the ex-Prime Minister leaving the Tory Government.

The new prime minister has been shuffling his pack after taking over from Liz Truss in Downing Street after she served just 49 days in office.

Jack, the MP for Dumfries and Galloway, has been the Scottish Secretary since Boris Johnson appointed him in July 2019 to replace David Mundell. He was with Johnson in his final hours in office in Downing Street and kept the job under Truss.
