The old ally of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, has quit as Business Secretary after Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister. Mr Rees-Mogg has conceded he would not get a job in Mr Sunak's Cabinet.
He was the first to acknowledge today (October 25) that he was out - as the newly-appointed Conservative leader began a Government shake-up. Kit Malthouse, who was a deputy under Mr Johnson when he was London Mayor, is also out as Education Secretary, a source close to the outgoing Cabinet minister told the PA news agency.
Johnson-loyalist Simon Clarke is no longer Levelling-Up Secretary, while Sir Jake Berry has been axed as Tory party chairman, saying "all good things must come to an end". Wendy Morton is out as Chief Whip after a chaotic period which culminated in farcical scenes during a Commons vote the night before Ms Truss announced her resignation last week.
