Rishi Sunak is reshuffling his cabinet after many of Liz Truss’s ministers resigned or were sacked
Jeremy Hunt will remain as chancellor – he took on the role after Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-budget, swiftly scrapping most of it
Dominic Raab will return to the roles of deputy prime minister and justice secretary, James Cleverly stays as foreign secretary and Simon Hart is chief whip
Suella Braverman is reappointed home secretary, a week after resigning from the same role, and Grant Shapps replaces Jacob Rees-Mogg as business secretary
Sunak’s former leadership rival Penny Mordaunt remains as leader of the House of Commons
Sunak officially became UK prime minister earlier today after meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace
In his first speech outside No 10, he said the UK was facing a “profound economic crisis” and that he would fix some of Liz Truss’s mistakes
In a short farewell speech earlier, Truss defended her legacy of trying to push through tax cuts and said leaders needed to be bold.
