Truss is the new Womens’ Minister, Goldsmith will attend Cabinet. The Government is reshuffled at Ministerial level.

Seven changes in all given the recent run of resignations: it all has a bit of a provisional feel.

Lord Ashcroft: An open letter to Alok Sharma, the new International Development Secretary

We should measure the success of our aid programmes by the good we achieve, not simply by the amount of money we spend.

Lord Ashcroft: More woe for St Helena. New figures reveal that its airport has failed to bring an influx of visitors

Sadly, neither I nor others have a magic wand to wave but, for starters, the island needs to become far more accessible to the outside world.

Martin Parsons: The new Prime Minister should implement Hunt’s review on persecuted Christians

The real risk of all this is that it gets praised – but is then quietly filed away. What needs to happen is a change of Foreign Office culture.

The Stewart over the water

Much of politics is teamwork. Can he now create a coalition among Tory MPs, not to mention Party members, that builds on his appeal to many voters?

Bob Seely: Saving Britain billions. Ideas for the contenders in this leadership contest.

This is a contribution to the debate – now let’s see what the candidates offer during the week ahead.

Profile: The unusual Rory Stewart, self-declared contender for the Tory leadership

His critics claim his appointment as International Development Secretary “could lead to the death of thousands of the world’s poorest people”.

Nicholas Daniels: British aid should primarily be about investments, not handouts

Ultimately, it is economic growth not traditional aid which will support the growing populations of the developing world.

Lord Ashcroft: Special Report: St Helena – the island of fading hopes and dreams

It is an attractive destination, with a friendly population and a fascinating history, but it has been badly let down by officialdom.

Mordaunt: Let’s champion “the invisible women who keep…our nation going.” Her women’s suffrage centenary speech: full text

“There’s a lot of focus on women in boardrooms…But this is not the place where business is being re-imagined.”

Vicky Ford: Plastic pollution is a poverty issue – and Britain can make a difference

The last in a series of three extracts from a new book of essays from Conservative Friends of International Development and Save the Children.

“Where’s Penny?” The International Development Secretary is biding her time, and choosing her words carefully

Mordaunt – like Patel before her – is effective, ambitious, and keenly aware that many Conservative voters are not natural fans of aid spending.

Theo Clarke: British aid is giving hope and purpose to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan

We are not just helping them – we are empowering them to help themselves. That transforms individual lives and helps the region to stabilise.

Bob Seely: Post-Brexit, we need to be the world’s smart power nation. Let’s make it happen.

Our plan seems to have been little more than to cobble together just enough kit to make us a Great Power on the cheap. That cannot continue.

Mordaunt replaces Patel at DFID – as ConHome recommended

Replacing one female Brexiteer with another is an elegant solution, but the new International Development Secretary brings experience to the role too.
