Judith Collins has demoted a senior MP in her first full day in the job as she clears the decks following a disastrous week for the party.
Later this morning the new leader will unveil her reshuffle at Parliament - another opportunity for her to stamp her own mark.
Two MPs got the news early yesterday - for one it was a demotion, for the other a promotion to the front bench.
Political reporter Jo Moir has this story.
