Boris Johnson's Cabinet reshuffle on Thursday will not be "a revolution" Government sources said as ministers prepared for a limited shake-up that will see several Remainers promoted at the expense of Leavers.

The Prime Minister was putting the finishing touches to a reshuffle which he hopes will decisively put the bitter three years of rowing over Brexit behind him.

The scale of the reshuffle has been radically pared back since speculation of a much wider shake up in the immediate aftermath of the general election. The source added: "It is not going to be a revolution."

Remain-supporting Chloe Smith, Oliver Dowden and Lucy Frazer are all tipped to be promoted to the Cabinet at the expense of Brexit supporting ministers like Geoffrey Cox, Andrea Leadsom and Theresa Villiers.

Ms Smith is tipped for a wider Minister for the Union role based at the Cabinet Office while Mr Dowden is a straight swap for Baroness Morgan running the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport department.

Nusrat Ghani, already a junior Transport Minister, is also set to be made HS2 Minister, The Telegraph understands, although she could face criticism because her Wealden constituency is nowhere near the £106 billion railway's route.

Ms Villiers, the Environment Secretary, is also widely expected to be sacked, leaving Home Secretary Priti Patel as the only member of the Cabinet who consistently voted against Theresa May's Brexit deal.

Brexiteers including Mr Johnson, Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Leader of the House of Commons, all backed her deal at the so-called third Meaningful Vote stage last March. One Government source said: "The labels of 'Leave' and 'Remain' were binned as soon as we got Brexit done - no one mentions them now."

The source also admitted that the scale of the reshuffle has been radically pared back since speculation of much wider shake up in the immediate aftermath of the general election. The source added: "It is not going to be a revolution."
