After the storm, the new Cabinet meets
Updated on 09 June 2009
Gordon Brown's reshuffled Cabinet meets for the first time since last week’s resignations and yesterday's averted parliamentary Labour party rebellion.
The Cabinet met, hoping to get on with the business of government after weeks of speculation about the prime minister’s future.
Brown is agreed to have put down a backbench rebellion against him at a meeting of the parliamentary Labour party last night.
But this morning his Foreign Secretary David Miliband described his cabinet colleague Alan Johnson as the "leading candidate" to succeed him.
