Chris Skidmore says he will have more time to spend with family

Science and universities minister Chris Skidmore has apparently been sacked for a second time in the latest cabinet reshuffle.

Tweeting a picture of his new baby on 13 February, he said: “Got a promotion in the reshuffle to be a better dad with more time to spend with this gorgeous little one…Thanks everyone who I’ve had the chance to work with and the civil service teams that have supported me—you have all been amazing.”
