Robert Jenrick has lost his job as housing secretary in a
major cabinet reshuffle and been replaced by Michael Gove. The former
housing secretary announced his departure in a tweet which made no reference to
a new ministerial post - suggesting he has been removed from the cabinet. The
reshuffle brings to a close a two-year run in the position for Mr Jenrick. It
makes him the longest serving secretary of state in this role since Eric
Pickles, who left office in 2015. Former education and justice secretary Mr
Gove was announced as his replacement, moving from his current role as
chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster. Read more on Inside Housing.
