Who's who in Boris Johnson's first cabinet | Policy

Sajid Javid – Chancellor

The former Secretary of State for the Interior seemed always ready to occupy a high position in the cabinet of Boris Johnson, as an already prominent minister considered to have strengthened his status in the race for the succession of Theresa May. He will now replace Philip Hammond as Chancellor.

The former business banker – who has never denied the theory that he would have suffered a pay cut of about 97% when he became a deputy in 2010 – was He rose through the ranks of the minister, serving as May's secretary under May and then replacing Amber Rudd as Secretary of the Interior. after leaving the Windrush scandal.

Javid used his profile and past to propel an energetic leadership campaign into the fourth round of the MPs' vote, after which he calmly shifted his support behind Johnson.

As he has reiterated repeatedly during the process, Sajid is not your typical Conservative minister. He was born in Rochdale to parents who had left Pakistan. Javid's father first worked as a bus driver and then opened a shop in Bristol.

Javid became a conservative activist at the university and then joined an American investment bank, claiming that she felt more open-minded than her British counterparts, where bosses hinted that somebody was going to talk about it. one of those around him would do better to reduce his ambitions.

A diligent minister, so often criticized as an interest-free speaker, Javid saw his profile rise during the party leadership campaign. In particular, he encouraged his fellow candidates to accept an investigation into Islamophobia within the party. PW

Dominic Raab – Secretary of Foreign Affairs and First Secretary of State

The former secretary of the Brexit thought that he had a real chance of entering No. 10, but he failed to defeat the hard eurosceptics who eventually rushed to Johnson . Within the party, he is seen as a supporter of the right-wing civil liberties interest, as David Davis' former chief of staff before entering parliament.

It has in the past proposed to allow public schools to make a profit by removing all "green subsidy taxes" on energy bills, by removing the minimum wage for under-21s for small businesses and small businesses. by facilitating the dismissal of underperforming employees. He also spoke of his intention to abolish the Governmental Office for Equality, which he described as "useless", and the merger of the Department of International Development (DfID) into the Foreign Office.

During the chieftaincy campaign, he defended his badertion that feminists are among the most heinous bigots and that men get a brutal agreement, saying that he does not want "double standards" in the debate on equality. RM

Priti Patel – secretary at home

A key figure in the Vote Leave campaign, Patel was fired by May as International Development Secretary for a highly ill-advised freelance trip to Israel, where she extolled her influence with politicians – unnoticed by the Foreign Office .

Born to Gujarati parents who fled Uganda in the 1960s, she is a well-known voice on the right of the conservative party. This appointment to DFID was controversial after previously calling for the abolition of the foreign aid target. She also advocated once again the death penalty.

Patel flirted with a party leadership bid and sparked frenzied speculation that she would run after being seen filming a promotional video in the gardens of the Victoria Tower. But she decided not to do it and supported Johnson, a close ally of the two men sitting around the cabinet table. He gave her support when she was bogged down in the scandal that led to her resignation. I

Michael Gove – Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster – minister without portfolio – Gove could either be rewarded by Johnson with a main brief, itinerant, or totally dismissed.

If that happens, it would be a significant demotion for an energetic and highly pro-Brexit minister who has barely missed reaching the last stage of the Conservative leadership campaign.

This time, Gove was not too insane Johnson, but there is still a lot to do between the two for Gove – as Johnson would see it – to have doubled in the last leadership election of 2016, deciding at the last moment to stand up. rather than supporting Johnson, who then retired.

Like Johnson, a former newspaper columnist, in his case for the Times, Gove has been Surrey Heath's safe seat since 2005.

After a junior period on the shadow benches, he was appointed Education Secretary by David Cameron in 2010 and oversaw a drastic change in the school system, including a mbadive process of currency conversions. Academies, winning applause from many conservatives but alienating many teachers, heads of institutions and others in the system.

As Secretary of Justice, Gove was particularly well received, particularly because he spent much of his time defeating Chris Grayling's disastrous work. He lost his position when May took office, but a year later he was transferred to the environmental file, where he energetically launched a war on plastics and obtained cautious praise from environmental groups. PW

Matt Hanbad – Secretary of Health

The Tiggerish Secretary of Health kept the same job as at the beginning of the day. Hanbad will be relieved to stay in the office, but we could forgive him for wishing it to be a promotion given the mockery endured by his quick turn to support Johnson after his own, very different, campaign was out of breath.

A former protégé of George Osborne, Hanbad is firmly rooted in the party's more liberal and modernist party. He argued his point of view from the leaders by insisting that a Brexit without agreement would be a serious mistake.

After being ejected from the fight in the first round of voting, rather than being left behind by a more similar candidate, such as Rory Stewart, or even Michael Gove, Hanbad revealed that he would support Johnson as a "nationalist" conservative ". It followed several rather uncomfortable pbadages in the media during which Camp Johnson sent Hanbad to defend policies that he had previously condemned.

This is not the first time Hanbad has made such a miraculous escape. As Chief of Staff at Osborne before entering Parliament in 2010, Hanbad was closely badociated with the Osborne-Cameron Circle and rose through the ranks of the junior ministerial ranks within the coalition and beyond.

When May took office in 2016, he could have expected a return to the summary table, but he was spared, probably because, as for Johnson, he was one of the first donors of the future prime minister in the leadership race. After 18 months, he was in the Cabinet as Secretary for Culture, where, among other achievements, he had launched the application "Matt Hanbad", so ridiculed, then health. PW

Andrea Leadsom – Business Secretary

The minister who tipped the scales in May finally deciding to leave the post of President No. 10, Leadsom resigned from her leadership position in the House of Commons on May 22, claiming that she had finally lost confidence in the government plan for Brexit. Two days later, May finally announced her departure schedule.

The loss of Leadsom was important because, although she is a long-time and confirmed supporter, she was also pragmatic and worked tirelessly, if not in vain, to try to materialize the project. Brexit convicted of May by the Commons.

Leadsom was, alongside May, the last of two MPs in David Cameron's successor race in 2016, but gave up after suggesting, in an interview, that she had more interest in the national future. as a mother. Mayn 's no kids. Leadsom apologized to the new Prime Minister.

May was Leadsom's environment secretary, but a year later she became head of the House of Commons, which is seen by some as a slight demotion.

Leadsom, however, has taken on this role with enthusiasm, involving centrally not only in Brexit legislation, but also in the fight against intimidation and harbadment in Parliament.

A former director of the financial sector before being elected to Parliament in 2010 to represent the new headquarters of South Northamptonshire, Leadsom is also a strong advocate for greater government intervention in early childhood services to improve people's chances in life. PW

Liz Truss – Secretary of International Trade

The former Chief Secretary of the Treasury, the current Secretary of International Trade, is a staunch advocate of Johnson's ideology and supports his tax-reduction plan for senior officials with much more enthusiasm than he does.

The member for South West Norfolk since 2010 was a junior justice secretary before moving to the treasury, where her strong Brexit positions put Truss at odds with her boss, Philip Hammond.

Truss stands as a champion of free enterprise, low taxes, reduced regulations and the economy of the Great Hall, which she says will make the party attractive to younger voters, a generation regularly and slightly fearful. refers to "Uber-riding, Airbnb-ing, Deliveroo-eating freedom fighters".

Also known for an extremely serious and memorable speech about cheese imports, Truss grew up in a left-wing family at Paisley and then Leeds, but gradually came closer to conservatives, via Lib Dems.

A graduate accountant, she worked for Shell and Cable & Wireless, but was only 25 years old when she competed for her first seat in Westminster, Hemsworth, in 2001. After another false start in 2005, she been adopted at its current headquarters.

In parliament, Truss soon set out his views – along with Dominic Raab, she was one of five Conservative MPs who wrote Britannia Unchained, a 2012 libretto devoted to unbridled free enterprise, of which an often quoted section condemned the British people as " among the worst ". idle in the world ". PW

Theresa Villiers – Secretary for the Environment

Villiers represents another long-standing seat of Chipping Barnet in the London suburb of Chipping Barnet, but he has a previous political interest in issues relating to agriculture and animal welfare.

A lawyer by training before becoming a member of the European Parliament, Villiers took office in Westminster in 2005 and immediately became chief secretary of the Treasury under Conservative leader Michael Howard. David Cameron was appointed Secretary of Transport Ghosts, then Deputy Minister of the Coalition, and spent four years as Secretary of Northern Ireland. She left the government when May took over position 10, after refusing a more junior role.

As Environmental Secretary, she will take charge of an issue treated with energy by Michael Gove and will oversee potentially huge challenges in the agricultural sector after Brexit, especially in the event of a lack of funding. agreement. PW

Gavin Williamson – Secretary of Education

Return to the cabinet of the former Secretary of Defense, similar to Lazare, just 84 days after his resignation, in circumstances perhaps even darker than those that pushed Priti Patel to resign.

On May 1, Williamson was fired unceremoniously for "convincing" evidence of his role in a leak of the National Security Council over Huawei's participation in Britain's 5G network.

Williamson was summoned to the May & # 39; s Commons office where she confronted him with the evidence and offered him the opportunity to resign. He refused and she immediately dismissed him. The former minister protested against what he called a "kangaroo court".

A former Chief Whip, with extensive knowledge of the Conservative Party mechanisms, Williamson was a key member of Johnson's campaign team and was to return to the government.

Education is a complex issue, and doubters will wonder if it could fight, as it seemed to be the case in the defense. There, Williamson drew some taunts for his apparently naive machismo in the work, for example saying that Russia had to "go and shut up".

Alok Sharma – Secretary of State for International Development

Sharma is a former accountant occupying the marginal headquarters of Reading West. She held a variety of junior ministerial positions and campaigned to remain in the referendum. Born in India, he is not a big figure in parliament but has supported Johnson. He is being targeted for promotion despite his support for HS2 and Heathrow, for which the new Prime Minister is skeptical. RM

Amber Rudd – Secretary of Labor and Pensions

She has already described Johnson as a person with whom she would not want to take the elevator to go home, but Rudd made it clear that she would be willing to take a seat at the table of his office, despite their differences and that she kept her old job.

Rudd attended the prestigious Cheltenham Ladies' College, and pursued a career in finance – working for JP Morgan and the Monticello family investment firm – before being elected to Parliament in 2010.

Formerly designated herself as a leadership contestant, Rudd's reputation was seriously undermined when she resigned from her home secretary position for treatment of the Windrush generation.

She says that she learned from this episode to ask more questions and become more involved in the day-to-day management of her department.

At the Ministry of Labor and Pensions, she adopted a distinctly different tone from her predecessor, Esther McVey, admitting that it sometimes took too long for plaintiffs to collect universal credit payments and introduced several modest reforms.

Rudd, MP for Hastings and Rye, supported Jeremy Hunt's candidacy for position 10, presented with Penny Mordaunt and co-chair of the One Nation Group of Conservative Nations, which is a counterweight to fervent research. European pro-Brexit. Group. She has an extremely small majority of only 346 votes. HS

Ben Wallace – Secretary of Defense

An MP for nearly 15 years and a 12-year-old MP, Wallace is one of the least known personalities in Boris Johnson's new cabinet, replacing Penny Mordaunt as Secretary of Defense.

Former Minister of Home Office Security, he has worked as an officer in the Scots Guards in Northern Ireland before working in the defense industry.

From 1999 to 2003, he was a member of the Scottish Parliament and had applied for a seat in Westminster, England. In 2005, he won the Lancaster and Wyre seats, moving to the new constituency of Wyre and Preston North after a border reshuffle.

From 2007, he worked in the offices of Scotland and Northern Ireland and as a bad before entering the Home Office, when May became Prime Minister. PW

Stephen Barclay – Secretary of Brexit

Barclay was little known outside of Westminster when he was first appointed secretary of Brexit in May to succeed Raab, who resigned from his contract. He was considered by Brussels to be better prepared than Brexit's first secretary, David Davis, and easier to manage than Raab.

But as Johnson's first supporter, he ran into Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator, delivering the sobering message that Johnson now considered May's deal dead. He recently argued for the need to continue to spend a lot on negotiating without agreement and called this perspective "undervalued". RM

Nicky Morgan – Secretary for Culture, Media and Sports

Another comeback for a cabinet minister chosen by May. Morgan spent two years as Education Secretary under David Cameron, but was dismissed in May 2016.

Relations between the two men did not improve when Morgan was expelled from a group of backbenchers who were summoned to a private meeting with the prime minister after criticizing May for wearing the pants at £ 995.

At that time, Morgan, who remains a supporter, seemed ready to embark on a long dissatisfaction career at the heart of Brexit, alongside her role as Chair of the Treasury Selection Committee.

However, she later became a key player in the complicated and condemned fudge of Brexit, known as the Malthouse Compromise (after the instigator and colleague Conservative MP Malthouse Kit) and so was found again beautiful with the starting camp.

A former corporate lawyer, Morgan joined Parliament in 2005, representing Loughborough. It took seven years to join the Conservative Bank, but quickly went up. PW

Robert Jenrick – Secretary – Housing, Communities and Local Government

A big promotion for the youngest member of the Johnson cabinet and the latest arrival at Westminster. The 37-year-old former lawyer entered Parliament in the 2014 by-election in Newark, due to the resignation of incumbent MP Patrick Mercer.

Jenrick has been on the Conservative bench for even shorter years, holding a junior position in the Treasury early in 2018.

As the last minister responsible for housing, he may have to explain a real estate portfolio that, at the time of his election, had three houses, two in London and one rural property. His current interest register mentions only one additional home. PW

Robert Buckland – Secretary of Justice

A promotion to the Minister of Prisons – where he had only been for 11 weeks, succeeding Rory Stewart – and a memoir that matches his work history.

Buckland has been a lawyer in Wales for nearly 20 years and sat on a part time basis as a judge before entering Parliament in 2010.

His initial role in the commission was the more junior legal work of the Solicitor General. Former member remaining, Buckland insisted on the May Brexit deal, but did not criticize Johnson. PW
