William Hague quits as Foreign Secretary in Tory night of the long knives: David Cameron purges middle-aged men to make way for his rising female stars in dramatic cabinet reshuffle

Hague quits as Foreign Secretary
William Hague (centre) dramatically quit as Foreign Secretary last night as David Cameron embarked on a cull of white, middle-aged men in his most brutal reshuffle since becoming Tory leader. More than a dozen ministers - including (clockwise from top, far right) Andrew Lansley, the Leader of the House of Commons, Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, Welsh Secretary David Jones, and Owen Paterson, the Agriculture Secretary, are leaving the Government, as is the other big beast to depart Kenneth Clarke (pictured to the left of Hague, bottom row), who first entered ministerial office in 1972. Mr Cameron's shake-up is designed to make way for a new generation of younger MPs, many of them women, including rising stars (clockwise from top left) Liz Truss, Esther McVey and Nicki Morgan.
