Following the announcement of Boris Johnson's new role, the London Mayor's official spokesman said: "The mayor has accepted an invitation from the prime minister to attend political cabinet.

"This is not a ministerial appointment. He won't be attending full cabinet and won’t be running any department. The mayor has always been clear - he has to fulfil his mandate running London first - and that's exactly what he will be doing until his term ends in May 2016."

Tory backbencher Robert Halfon - who has been an influential campaigner on lower fuel prices - has just gone through the black door of No 10. Stay posted to find out what role he's going to get.
