As MPs head off for recess, moves have been made in a mini Easter reshuffle:

• Nus Ghani appointed Minister for Europe in the FCDO.
• Leo Docherty appointed Minister for the Armed Forces in the MoD.
• Kevin Hollinrake appointed Minister of State in Department for Business and Trade.
• Luke Hall appointed Minister of State in Department for Education.
• Alan Mak appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State jointly in Department for Business and Trade and Cabinet Office.
• Jonathan Gullis appointed Tory deputy chairman.
• Angela Richardson appointed Tory deputy chairman.

Guido notes that Ghani, sanctioned by both China and Russia, is joining the Foreign Office. Putting a stake in the ground?
