There will be now four new female faces at the Cabinet table following the reshuffle as the Prime Minister attempts to tackle the suggestion he has a “women problem”.

William Hague, Michael Gove and Kenneth Clarke are three of the big demotions.

Speaking in the garden of 10 Downing Street, Mr Cameron said: “This is a fresh team with the ideas, the energy, the policy and the ability to take this country forward, to complete the long term economic plan and secure our future.”
