The Prime Minister is to announce more managerial changes after Angela Rayner's resignation resulted in a major cabinet reshuffle

Angela Rayner's resignation on Friday prompted a major cabinet reshuffle, with David Lammy taking her place as Deputy Prime Minister, Yvette Cooper assuming the role of Foreign Secretary, and Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary. More ministerial changes to the lower ranks of government are to be announced.

The MP for Ashton-under-Lyne resigned after she was found to have broken the ministerial code over her admission that she had not paid enough stamp duty on the purchase of the £800,000 flat in Hove, Brighton.
