The Prime Minister may announce a mini reshuffle of his Cabinet as soon as by the end of today (February 7).
It comes after Rishi Sunak sacked former Tory chair Nadhim Zahawi last week due to the latter's tax affairs. While a full reshuffle is not reportedly expected, Mr Sunak could use the opportunity to overhaul his government.
A report by The Times newspaper which cited government sources stated that a government shake-up is possible with Mr Sunak potentially looking at breaking up the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy into separate ministries. It would follow his Tory leadership contest pledge to recreate a standalone energy department.
