Good morningpublished at 07:10 British Summer Time 10 July 2018
Welcome back - we'll be bringing you all the latest from Westminster today as Theresa May gets together with her new cabinet line-up.
It's fair to say politics rarely gets more dramatic than yesterday - with Davis Davis and Boris Johnson going within hours of each other and Mrs May hastily assembling her new cabinet.
As speculation abounded of a possible leadership challenge, Mrs May warned a meeting of backbenchers that the Tory party must unite or face the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn in power.
That's all for tonightpublished at 22:58 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
After a busy day in Westminster, we're pausing our politics live page coverage for the night. It will resume in the morning.
Catch up on the Brexit cabinet resignations - and the subsequent reshuffle - here.
You can also watch the BBC News Channel for all the latest.

Quote Message
What I want to say to them is Britain is going to be a dependable ally, a country that stands up for the values that matter to the people of this country, and will be a strong confident voice in the world.
But Mr Hunt admitted that not everyone was a fan of him as health secretary.

New attorney general 'spoke in favour of PM' earlierpublished at 22:04 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
Theresa May earlier faced down backbench critics at a meeting of the 1922 committee, amid rumours it was close to getting the 48 signatures needed to trigger a no-confidence vote that could have removed her as prime minister.
