Gordon Brown is engaging in a far more extensive Cabinet reshuffle than was expected.

Peter Mandleson, New Labour architect and currently EU trade commissioner, is returning to government as business secretary.

A new department of energy and climate change is being created with Ed Miliband at its head.

The reshuffle was triggered by the resignation of Ruth Kelly as transport secretary and, it transpired last night, as MP for Bolton.
