Norman Smith

The foreign secretary quits.
What's happened so far?published at 14:53 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
Here's a mid-afternoon recap of today's events:
- Dominic Raab has replaced David Davis as Brexit secretary
- Mr Davis says he thinks Theresa May is a good prime minister, but does not agree with her Brexit plan
- Former Brexit minister Steve Baker, who resigned with Mr Davis, said his department was "blindsided" by the prime minister's Chequers plan
- We're expecting to hear from the prime minister at 15:30, when she will address the Commons
- Labour MPs were invited to a Downing Street briefing about the Brexit plan, Number 10 has confirmed
- Lots of questions over the whereabouts of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. There were reports he was at a Cobra meeting earlier, but our political editor Laura Kuenssberg says she has been told he did not go. He is due at a West Balkans summit in London, but he hasn't turned up yet. He's expected there at 15:00.

Another housing minister...published at 14:23 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
Tory MPs continue to heap praise on Dominic Raab and congratulate him on his new job, but there is still the small matter of the role he has left behind.
There have been eight housing ministers since the Conservatives came to power in 2010 - and with housing deemed a priority by Theresa May for her premiership, some have criticised the short-lived tenure of those in the position.
