Summary
Rishi Sunak has completed his first cabinet reshuffle - a little over 100 days after he became prime minister. <br /><br />After sacking Nadhim Zahawi, he's given Greg Hands the job of Conservative Party chair - and some key government departments have had their briefs changed. <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson asks our deputy political editor Sam Coates about what the prime minister is trying to achieve with the changes and what it tells us about his priorities and why changing government departments can backfire. <br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio<br />Junior Producer: Charlie Bell<br />Promotions Producer: David Chipakupaku<br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
