  • Jesse Norman MP to be Paymaster General, and Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
  • Michael Ellis MP to be a Minister of State at the Department for Transport.

Quote of the Day

Brown: “You’re really helpful“.

McDonnell: “Yes I am. But it would be great if somebody could tell Skwawkbox that“.
