Meanwhile Ruth Davidson, so often one of the highest-scoring politicians, is at the bottom of the chart after her row with Johnson and strong line against No Deal.

Full list of Cabinet appointments

A rolling list of all the senior members of the new Government. As we write, we have the Cabinet list plus those entitled to attend.

Johnson’s shuffle. If one asks for decisiveness – for an end to drift – don’t complain when it’s delivered.

We have the Government that we should have had then, ready to counter the charge that Vote Leave scurried away from Brexit, rather than manning up to deliver it.

Neva Sadikoglu-Novaky and Jonathan Werran: Brexit gives the chance to have full fiscal devolution. Let’s take it.

Through tax competition, we could truly have a real Northern Powerhouse and give cities in the north a fairer chance against London and the south east.

Iain Dale: This reshuffle could have promoted and prioritised housing. But all we got was a name change.

Plus: The mystery of the missing Kwasi Kwarteng. The presence of the ebullient Brandon Lewis. The absence and recovery of Nick de Bois. Plus: Capita’s failures.

Interview: The double-hatted Suella Fernandes – both a member of the Government and a pro-Leave group leader

She points to the opportunities to imitate New Zealand agriculture, and to crack down on big businesses which evade tax.

Parliamentary Private Secretaries: full list

Seema Kennedy becomes the Prime Minister’s second PPS. Brexiteer Kwasi Kwarteng is PPS to Philip Hammond. And much, much more.

Flashback: “Wazzock…buffoon…bigot” – when Tory MPs debated banning Trump from the UK

The full PPS list. One third Leavers. One third women. And ninety per cent May supporters.

There’s one undeniable trend among those promoted: they backed the winning candidate.
