Igniting a political firestorm over the Remembrance Day weekend, Braverman accused the police of "playing favourites” with protesters and claiming homelessness was a 'lifestyle choice’ - culminating in her removal from government.
The vacancy heading up the Home Office saw James Cleverly move across Whitehall, before Suank pulled off a shock move to usher in former Prime Minister David Cameron as his new Foreign Secretary after a seven-year absence from frontline politics.
Following years of being tipped for a major job in cabinet, Victoria Atkins has been appointed as health secretary, while Steve Barclay moved to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
