Shailesh Vara has been sacked as Northern Ireland Secretary
In a tweet, Mr Vara said it had been a "great privilege and honour to serve as Secretary of State at the Northern Ireland Office and work with some excellent people".
He sent best wishes to the new prime minister and said he looked forward to supporting the government from the backbenches.It is after all often viewed as a poisoned chalice that brings many challenges and little influence.Ironically, Belfast-born Junior Northern Ireland Minister Conor Burns - who had been pushing for the role - looks set to be empty-handed.
Now Chris Heaton-Harris, the chief whip, is being talked up as the next MP to pack his bags for Belfast. But if the prime minister has an in-tray from hell, the new secretary of state's won't be much better.
