  2. Rudd due in Parliament in 40 minutespublished at 13:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2018

    Amber Rudd is due in Parliament in less than 40 minutes time for Home Office questions from MPs. Given that, the odds on her changing jobs in the interim are likely to be quite long.

    This is intriguing. Amber Rudd is now going into Downing Street. The home secretary was assumed to be one of those staying in their role.

    This could still be the case but it will be fascinating to see whether she gets extra responsibilities as part of the reshuffle... or could there yet be a new job.

    Justice Secretary David Lidington has arrived in Downing Street.

    He has been tipped to take over from Damian Green as first secretary of state and cabinet office minister, a key role in the government.

    Theresa May has just posed for photos outside 10 Downing Street with new Tory chairman Brandon Lewis, new deputy party chairman James Cleverly, and a dozen other MPs - who we presume will be working alongside him in Central Office.
