BORIS Johnson will gather his victorious top team together for a Cabinet meeting today – before MPs are sworn back into Parliament later.
The PM will welcome a few fresh faces to his Cabinet this morning – including new Welsh Secretary Simon Hart – before making a more brutal reshuffle next year.
Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan will stay in post despite stepping down as an MP – because she’ll be elevated to the House of Lords instead.
Former Tory MP Zac Goldsmith, who lost his seat of Richmond Park to the Lib Dems, was last night expected to be given a peerage to continue his job attending Cabinet as environment minister.
Ahead of bringing his Brexit Bill back to the Commons on Friday, MPs will officially put in place the Speaker once again.
And then MPs will start the process of being officially sworn back into the Commons.
Yesterday the PM posed up with his 109 new Tories in Parliament – fresh from his election victory last week.
The PM told them to work flat-out to repay the trust of first-time Tory voters.
He said they had not only changed the political map of this country but youve changed our party for the better.
Standing in front of the newbies at Westminster Hall in Parliament, Boris was seen chuckling after Bosworth MP Dr Luke Evans shouted: Merry Brexmas.
The PM replied: That is what were going to do, flat out after Christmas.
Testing his new MPs on one of his favourite campaign mantras, Mr Johnson asked them what culinary characteristic would describe his Brexit deal? They replied in unison: Oven ready.
Meanwhile the Labour party are gearing up for a fiery meeting tonight, where MPs are expected to demand Jeremy Corbyn quit immediately and trigger a leadership contest.
The leftie boss has said he’ll quit but there’s not yet a timetable for his departure.
MPs are now considering whether they will run for the top job – and whether they’ll have enough support.
So far Lisa Nandy, Angela Rayner, Rebecca Long Bailey, Jess Phillips and Sir Keir Starmer are all tipped to run.
But the party are embroiled in a fresh war over what and who to blame for the disastrous drubbing last week.
Ex-minister Caroline Flint who lost her seat in the bloodbath, accused shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry of having called Northern Leave voters “stupid”.
She has totally denied the claims and threatened to sue.
