He tweeted his frustration at a decision he said "sets us back massively" on the progress that had been achieved, including on new legislation.

The housing campaigner said Mr Johnson had "put his own selfish needs in front of the needs of social housing tenants" by ditching Mr Gove, who he said was the first housing minister to approach him and take his ideas on board.
