    This tweet hasn't aged well.

    Glum faces all round on the Labour benches as Tory MPs shout “more” at the end of the Corbyn/May ding-dong. The PM ends the year on a high. How the hell did that happen?

    Another Conservative MP: "The problem is Theresa May knows no one and becomes utterly dependent on these courtiers, who are not very good." 2018 starting pretty much as 2017 ended, then.

    Lots of Tory MPs turning their fire on No10 chief of staff following yesterday’s reshuffle chaos. One says: “He’s a boy in a man's world. MPs are fed up with him and think he has become arrogant and aloof.”

    There speaks a minister forced to defend Toby Young for an hour in the Commons yesterday only for him to quit this morning.

    Toby Young's track record setting up & supporting free schools speaks for itself. His decision to stand down from the OfS board and repeat unreserved apologies for inappropriate past remarks reflects his character better than the one-sided caricature from his armchair critics.

    Was clear at the weekend that Toby Young's position was untenable. Not sacking him was (another) missed opportunity by Theresa May.

    Make that 16. Liz Truss remains as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Means 10 women will attend Cabinet tomorrow morning, up from eight previously.

    Government source on Greening departure: "Justine was offered DWP, but declined to take it - the PM is disappointed but respects her decision to leave the Government."

    No doubt the PM had planned to move Jeremy Hunt to Business Secretary, but after a lengthy exchange of views they agreed he would stay at health and also take on social care. Greg Clark was then told he was staying put. Reshuffles, bloody hell.

    Gavin Williamson ... wait for it ... remains as Defence Secretary. What a waste of everybody's time.

    I don’t know a Downing Street official or special adviser who doesn’t think Greg Clark is useless and utterly incapable of making a decision. And he gets to stay. Weak.

    And now Greg Clark remains as Business Secretary. Are we still allowed to call this a reshuffle? It's not even a shuffle.

    And yet some people say the Government is tone deaf to public concerns.

    Health minister Philip Dunne has told Commons that the the NHS has a "crisis of some sort or other every winter"
