May says reshuffle of UK cabinet coming 'soon'
London
A UK cabinet reshuffle is coming soon, especially after the resignation of Damian Green as first secretary of state, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday.
Her comments coincided with newspaper reports that she is planning a major cull of senior figures as soon as Monday to promote fresher faces from a younger and more diverse generation of Conservatives. Mr Green, who in effect was Mrs May's deputy, was forced to resign in December after an inquiry found that he made misleading statements over pornography on his computer.
