The PM is replacing his Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan, as she’s stepped down as an MP, and environment minister Zac Goldsmith, who lost his seat.

Tonight, the PM announced the first appointment with Simon Hart replacing Alun Cairns as Welsh Secretary, after Cairns resigned following accusations he lied about an aide in a row over a rape trail.

There’s speculation that Jacob Rees-Mogg, who was slammed for insulting Grenfell fire victims at the start of the election campaign.

He was swiftly booted off being high profile in the election race as a result.

The PM is back in Westminster boosted by his huge 80-seat majority he won last week.

Boris will bring back his Brexit Bill to the Commons on Friday, and they could vote on it if the Speaker allows.

With such a big majority now the Tories have no fears about being able to push it through before 31 January – the new Brexit deadline.

Boris will also make a start on his in-tray – with a huge list of domestic priorities to get sorted.

The PM will focus on the NHS, immigration and delivering from the North, in an attempt to try and assure the voters who backed him last week that he is delivering for them.
