Rishi Sunak is expected to carry out a reshuffle this year. At one point No 10 was keeping open the option of holding it straight after the Uxbridge, Selby and Somerton byelections, and more recently the assumption has been that it would happen after recess.

This morning in the Times Steven Swinford says that it is coming in two parts. He says that a limited reshuffle will take place soon, primarily to replace Ben Wallace, who is standing down as defence secretary, and that a wider reshuffle has been postponed until later in the year.

NEW A mini-reshuffle among ministers is expected at the end of next week.

Tipped to leave the Cabinet are Defence secretary Ben Wallace and Scottish secretary Alister Jack. Both are quitting as MPs next year. @Steven_Swinford says there will be a wider reshuffle in October.

Environment minister Trudy Harrison, Health minister Will Quince and Levelling Up minister Dehenna Davison also set to leave HMG. All MPs quitting Parliament. Liam Fox, Penny Mordaunt, Anne Marie Trevelyan, Mark Harper are tipped to replace Ben Wallace.
