Boris Johnson will gather his cabinet later for the first meeting of his top team since the prime minister’s reshuffle.<\/p>\n

It comes after the PM<\/strong> completed a shake-up of his cabinet that saw a number of high-profile casualties.<\/p>\n

Dominic Raab<\/strong> was replaced as foreign secretary by Liz Truss<\/strong> and moved to the roles of justice secretary and lord chancellor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This has widely been viewed as a demotion in the wake of criticism for his handling of the Afghanistan crisis.<\/p>\n

But Mr Raab was also named deputy prime minister, a move interpreted as an attempt by the PM to placate the former foreign secretary.<\/p>\n

Downing Street has insisted that Mr Raab will continue playing an “important senior role”<\/strong> and his move had been “planned”.<\/p>\n

Gavin Williamson was sacked as education secretary<\/strong> after a difficult 18 months amid the COVID-19<\/strong> pandemic and its impact on education.<\/p>\n

He has been replaced by former vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi.<\/p>\n

Other casualties included Robert Buckland, removed as justice secretary, and Robert Jenrick, who is no longer housing secretary.<\/p>\n

Michael Gove now occupies the latter role, while Oliver Dowden lost his job as culture secretary and was replaced by Nadine Dorries.<\/p>\n

He is now Conservative Party co-chair after the previous incumbent Amanda Milling was ousted just weeks before the party’s annual conference.<\/p>\n

Anne-Marie Trevelyan has returned to cabinet as international trade secretary, taking on the post formerly held by Ms Truss.<\/p>\n

On Thursday Mr Johnson reshuffled the junior and middle-ranking government ministers, with a raft of appointments made.<\/p>\n

Nick Gibb has been removed as schools minister after more than a decade holding the brief as both minister and shadow minister, being replaced by Robin Walker.<\/p>\n

Penny Mordaunt, meanwhile, has been appointed minister of state at the Department for International Trade, while John Whittingdale is no longer a media minister.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Greg Hands has moved from international trade minister to become a business minister and Kemi Badenoch is now both a housing minister and Foreign Office minister.<\/p>\n

In a tweet after carrying out his cabinet reshuffle, the PM said his top team will “work tirelessly to unite and level up the whole country”.<\/p>\n

He added: “We will build back better from the pandemic and deliver on your priorities. Now let’s get on with the job.”<\/p>\n
