Jacob Rees-Mogg has been made minister for Brexit opportunities and government efficiency in a mini-reshuffle by Boris Johnson.

The newly-created jobs have been made as the PM continues with Brexit negotiations after a turbulent few weeks in Downing Street.

Mark Spencer has been moved from his role as chief whip to take Rees-Mogg’s former post as leader of the Commons, while Chris Heaton-Harris has been appointed as the new chief whip.

Stuart Andrew, the MP for Pudsey, has been made minister for housing in Michael Gove’s department for levelling up, housing and communities. He was deputy chief whip before.

On social media there was a flurry of reaction to the new announcements.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
