New ministers in Boris Johnson's cabinet seen at Downing Street

In two hours of political bloodshed, Mr Johnson axed half Theresa May's Cabinet - including his Tory leadership rival Jeremy Hunt. The new premier's tactics appears to be to rebuild a Eurosceptic team from the ashes, with Sajid Javid made Chancellor, Priti Patel seemingly bound for Home Secretary and Dominic Raab for the Foreign Office. Brexiteers Penny Mordaunt - who had backed Mr Hunt - and Liam Fox, Business Secretary Greg Clark and Scottish Secretary David Mundell also went in a series of savage sackings which shocked Westminster. James Brokenshire was given the boot despite having backed Mr Johnson for the leadership, and Chris Grayling has left reportedly at his own request. Mr Johnson had already laid down a marker this morning by installing maverick Brexit architect Dominic Cummings as one of his top advisers - to the horror of many Conservative MPs. A swathe of key figures from the Vote Leave team that won the 2016 EU referendum are being drafted in. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
