PM seeks to shore up his authority less than an hour before he is expected to announce his resignation as Tory leader
Boris Johnson has embarked on a last-ditch cabinet reshuffle, less than an hour before he is expected to announce his resignation, after a mass walkout of ministers made his position untenable.
Former business secretary Greg Clark will be the new levelling up secretary, and James Cleverly will take over as education secretary, the prime minister announced, as he began trying to shore up his authority by filling posts vacated in the past 72 hours.
