Theresa May's reshuffle has been continuing this evening and there have been a number of other departures and arrivals at middle-ranking ministerial level.

Out go Mike Penning, Sir Oliver Heald and David Jones from the Home Office, Ministry of Justice and Brexit departments respectively.

Nick Hurd, son of former home secretary Lord Hurd, gets a promotion to become policing minister while Dominic Raab, a former lawyer and vocal Leave supporter, comes into the Ministry of Justice.

Back in the fold is Claire Perry, the former rail minister who left the government last summer after Theresa May took power but now returns as a business minister.

Robert Goodwill moves from the Home Office to education while Anne Milton, previously a whip, also joins him in that department.

There is also a first job in government for Mel Stride, who becomes financial secretary to the Treasury, while Baroness Anelay moves to the Brexit department.

Four SNP MPs have said they are hoping to be the party's next leader at Westminster.

The position became vacant after Angus Robertson lost his seat in the general election.

Ian Blackford, Joanna Cherry, Tommy Sheppard and Drew Hendry have all confirmed their candidacy. They were all first elected in 2015.

The party said its new Westminster group leader would be announced on Wednesday evening.

The SNP won the general election in Scotland, despite losing 21 seats. They will start the new parliament with 35 MPs.

Mr Robertson lost his Moray constituency seat to the Conservatives' Douglas Ross after Thursday's vote. Read more

That was a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into the election from the BBC's Nick Robinson on Panorama.

Robert Halfon has told the Press Association that he "wasn't really given a reason" for his dismissal from government and it had been an "honour" to serve.

The MP for Harlow and former apprenticeships minister has downplayed suggestions that he was perceived as being too close to former chancellor George Osborne, who has been highly critical of Mrs May since the Tories failed to win the election outright.

Tory commentators have expressed surprise and dismay at the apparent departure of business minister Robert Halfon from government.

Charles Walker, vice chair of the 1922 committee, says that he admires Mrs May for taking responsibility for the election campaign in the meeting earlier.

MPs gave her a "ringing endorsement", he tells the BBC, and he looks forward to five years of Conservative government.

But he says the prime minister faced a lot of "searching questions" and the party has to "find the answers" as to why it did not do better at the election.

He says it is a matter of fact that not everything in the party's manifesto will become law.

Asked what he would miss least from the manifesto, he says that is "way above his pay grade" but suggests the party needs to look at what it can do for public sector workers, saying they have "borne the brunt" of austerity for many years.

Doncaster's Mr Fishfinger isn't letting defeat by Tim Farron in his Cumbria seat leave him floundering.

It came after a poll on Twitter concluded that Mr Farron was less-trusted than a fishfinger.

Now, the wanna-be MP reckons he can have much greater success elsewhere in politics.

He's determined that last week's election will not be his last.

Scotland's first minister calls for a "short pause" in the Brexit process to allow consensus to be built.

According to a Financial Times reporter, the chairman of the Conservative Party has emailed Tory supporters to thank them.

Patrick McLoughlin, who remains in the post after Sunday's reshuffle, said it was the highest share of the vote for the party since 1983.

New research has shown that since the EU referendum, there has been a sharp drop in nurses registering to work in the UK.

Last July, 1,304 nurses from the EU joined the Nursing and Midwifery Council register; that number dropped In April 2017 to just 46.

So which other industries are forecasting staff shortages, post Brexit?

Heather Rolfe, from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, tells BBC Radio 4's PM programme that the food and drink industry, "where 35% of it's staff are migrants", is already starting "to feel the pinch".

The Scottish Conservative leader has said the priority of Brexit talks should be the economy and free trade.

Ruth Davidson also said other parties should be involved in negotiations.

After the first meeting of the cabinet, Ms Davidson told BBC News she suggested the Tories worked with people within the House of Commons and those outside "to ensure that as we leave the EU we have a Brexit that works for the economy and puts that first".

"We do have to make sure that we invite other people in now. This isn't just going to be a Tory Brexit, this is going to have to involve the whole country," she added.

She said Theresa May and the cabinet had given "a real recognition" to her suggestion.

"We can make a big, bold offer that brings the country with us, that brings people in from the other side of the aisle in the House of Commons but also brings people in from outside the Commons too."

Under George Osborne's leadership, the Evening Standard claims its election coverage was read/picked up by record numbers in London.

The four front pages of Friday's editions didn't mince their words as Mr Osborne launched a stinging attack on his former colleague.

Of which the final edition carried the headline: "Queen of denial".

In May, writer Matthew Goodwin said he would "happily" eat his new Brexit book if Labour, under Jeremy Corbyn, polled 38%. On Sunday, he ate those words, external live on Sky News.

After that you'd think others would start to think twice about making political predictions.

But no, Labour supporter Lily Allen has said she would "eat the goat" if Theresa May managed to get her Queen's Speech passed.
