PM wants 'best people in the right roles' - Health Secretary

Mr Javid adds:"There's no need to change any rules because we've had the ballot, It's a clear, decisive result. And now we just get on with the job."Health Secretary Sajid Javid tells Sky News that the Chancellor may be looking to cut fuel duty further in the wake of rising costs. Mr Javid also encouraged the leaders of the RMT union to come to the table and talk with the government ahead of large-scale strikes planned for later this month.

The piece features most of the themes one might expect to see covered by a potential candidate, with an unsurprising focus on party unity. However, the Daily Telegraph reports that figures close to Mr Johnson idea believe that bringing back his rival into the Cabinet would help stabilise his leadership and heal rifts within the party - while, crucially, binding Mr Hunt to the PM's agenda.Boris Johnson is hours away from his first appearance in Parliament since the damaging revolt by Tory MPs.

While it was the Sue Gray report into lockdown parties in Downing Street which prompted the vote, it also revealed deep unhappiness among MPs on different wings of the party across a range of issues. The Guardian claims that rebel Tory MPs are drawing up plans for"vote strikes" to paralyse law-making - and that they plan to start with a showdown over a bill to override sections of the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Sky News has been told it is extremely rare to not consult the First Treasury Counsel on such matters. Ministers already believe they might have to use the Parliament Act to get the legislation through if the Lords throws out the bill. "I also think whether he is popular or not, there are certain standards that should be expected of our politicians, particularly our prime minister, and he has fallen below those standards.""I am more worried about the fact that it looks very much like he has misled parliament," he added.
