Brexit secretary David Davis has said "some elements" of the Tory manifesto will be "pruned away" after the party's General Election setback.

Mr Davis was speaking ahead of the first meeting between Tory MPs and Theresa May since the Conservatives lost their majority at the General Election.

"We are being given an instruction by the British people and we've got to carry it out," he told the BBC's Today programme.

"That may mean that some elements of the manifesto will be pruned away."

A cabinet meeting due to be held on Monday morning has been postponed.

The Cabinet Brexiteers were boosted by the return of Michael Gove, in a move seen as a bid to protect the Prime Minister from a leadership challenge.

"I genuinely didn't expect this role," he told Sky News. "I am delighted to be part of the Government.

"I am delighted to be able to support Theresa May to ensure that we have a Government capable of delivering on the people's wishes."
