as we were watching that report, michelle donelan left— report, michelle donelan left downing streetful of other appointments in the last half an hour, chloe smith is the secretary of state for work and pensions, and read rebellion is the transport secretary, kit malthouse the education secretary for england. kemi badenoch, it was a leadership contender, she will be the international trade secretary. let's examine the cabinet and how it looks at this stage and it appears pretty much complete now, and it has to be because there is a meeting taking place first thing tomorrow morning. there has been a purge of the rishi sunak supporters, prominent supporters of him do not feature round the top table. this is still a work in progress and the lower ranks of the government are still to be filled in and i'm sure they will be some who backed rishi sunak who are appointed at that level. one other point worth making, we were talking on the podcast earlier on bbc news, to a close follower of conservative politics, who pointed out that if you look at the new cabinet and you can pair it with davi

earlier on bbc breakfast, the culture secretary, michelle donelan, was asked for more details on thes expected this week. one of our first steps as a government, obviously, before the news about the queen, was to have a statement in relation to the energy price guarantee, which means that consumers can be assured that at least £1,000 will be... their energy bills will be reduced by at least £1,000 based on what it would have otherwise been had we not acted. and we also said that we will be supporting businesses. so the energy price guarantee for consumers is for two years. we've guaranteed that we'll be doing similar for businesses for up to six months, and then we will be offering additional tailored support and the details of that will be announced by the business secretary this week, in fact. so they'll be getting that clarity because i agree with you. i understand completely why they want that clarity and assurance as we head towards the colder months. for those businesses, six months doesn't give them much security and doesn't allow them to plan much. i mean, business is within
