Justine Greening has quit the Government after turning down the chance to take over at the Department of Work and Pensions.

The Education Secretary became the only big name departure during Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle on Monday.

The Prime Minister was said to have been left "disappointed" by the decision, according to ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston.

Mrs May's shake-up was sparked by former First Secretary of State Damian Green's resignation following allegations of pornography being found on a Commons computer.

David Lidington replaced Mr Green, taking his other title as Cabinet Office Minister, while Brandon Lewis was installed to take over from Sir Patrick McLoughlin as Conservative Party chairman.

Boris Johnson, Philip Hammond, David Davis and Amber Rudd all kept their jobs.

And Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid had additional roles added to their titles, with the Health Secretary taking on responsibility for social care and the Communities and Local Government minister having housing added to his remit.

Ms Greening's decision to quit came at the end of a long day of Cabinet meetings for the Prime Minister.

She announced her departure shortly before 8pm.

Damian Hinds will replace her.

Mrs May's reshuffled also signalled a wider shake-up of Conservative headquarters by promoting a number of ethnic minority, female and younger MPs.

It comes after former cabinet minister Sir Eric Pickles recommended changes to attract younger voters.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who had been mooted for a move to business, kept his role after "persuading" Mrs May not to transfer him, according to ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston.

Mr Hunt also convinced the Prime Minister that social care should come under his umbrella remit.

Earlier on Monday, Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire resigned from the Cabinet due to a lung condition requiring surgery.

Mr Brokenshire said the decision had been made "with a great deal of regret" but that he hoped to return to government.

"At this really important time in Northern Ireland, the restoration of devolved government, wanting to see that renewed, getting back into a talks process, Brexit negotiations, and also dealing with the issues of the past, that requires focus, energy and intent, and with my surgery coming, I'm not going to be in a position to be able to give that sort of effort," Mr Brokenshire said.

The 50-year-old was made Northern Ireland Secretary in July 2016 during which he had to deal with the collapse of the Stormont Government, as well as overseeing failed power-sharing negotiations over the last year.

Shortly after his departure it was announced Karen Bradley would replace him, moving from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Northern Ireland remains without an Assembly.

Prior to Mr Lewis' confirmation as party chair, the Conservatives deleted a tweet from their official account congratulating current Transport Secretary Chris Grayling on being appointed to the position.

A source close to Mr Grayling added that he had not been seen by the Prime Minister when the tweet mistakenly went out.

As well as reshuffling her Cabinet, it is thought Mrs May could appoint a "minister for no deal" specifically to prepare for the eventuality that the UK leaves the EU without an agreement.
