British Prime Minister Theresa May will reshuffle her cabinet on Monday, with junior ministerial jobs being reassigned on Tuesday, a media report said.

The reshuffle comes after two resignations and one sacking from the Prime Minister's cabinet in the last two months, reports the BBC.

Michael Fallon was the first to resign from his post of Defence Secretary in November 2017 amid allegations around his conduct.

One week later, Priti Patel quit her job as International Development Secretary, after a row over unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials.

First Secretary of State Damian Green - one of May's closest allies - was then fired from his position in December after making "misleading statements" to the press about pornography found on his office computer in 2008.
