Budge Up: New Ministers Squeeze Around Cabinet Table (PICTURE)

Downing Street Tweeted (very new media of them) a picture on Wednesday afternoon of David Cameron's new team sat around the cabinet table as they met for the first time.

But with 31 ministers able to attend the meetings, it looks like a bit of a squeeze. Although universities minister David Willetts appears to have nabbed himself a prime spot at the head of the table with plenty of elbow room.

Also in shot is Andrew Lansley who spent much of today's prime minister's questions looking decidedly morose, after being demoted from health secretary to leader of the House of Commons.

Sat directly opposite Lansley is the new health secretary, Jeremy Hunt. Luckily for Hunt it's quite a large table so he looks safe from under-the-table kicking from his predecessor, who appears to have had to settle for a death stare.
