Esther McVey has resigned after 10 months in the post of Work and Pensions Secretary. Amber Rudd has replaced her.

 

Labour have criticized the appointment-

 

'"After enforcing Theresa May's hostile environment in the Home Office, Amber Rudd will now be in charge of the DWP's hostile environment for disabled people and the poorest in society...With universal credit in absolute shambles, appointing a disgraced former minister who was only recently forced to resign for her role in another scandal is a desperate choice by a weak prime minister."'
