Who has the top jobs under the new prime minister？

• Boris Johnson

Prime Minister@BorisJohnson

Boris Johnson's popularity among Conservative MPs and members of the wider Tory party membership landed him the top job he has long coveted.

The former mayor of London has previously held only one cabinet position, foreign secretary, under Theresa May.

But Mr Johnson, a leading Brexiteer, was at odds with Mrs Mays Brexit vision and eventually quit the role in protest last year.

Critics of the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip say he is divisive, and unprincipled. He was dogged by stories about his private life during the leadership race.

The Eton and Oxford-educated former political journalist says the UK will leave the EU on 31 October, “deal or no deal”.

• Sajid Javid

  Chancellor@sajidjavid

  Sajid Javid was home secretary under Theresa May.

  He backed Remain in the 2016 EU referendum, but with a “heavy heart and no enthusiasm”. He has never hidden his Euroscepticism.

  Born in Rochdale, Mr Javid is a second-generation migrant whose parents came from Pakistan.

  He says his bus driver father arrived with only £1 to his name.

  A former protégé of former chancellor George Osborne at the Treasury, he was a successful investment banker before he was elected as an MP for Bromsgrove in 2010.

• Priti Patel

  Home Secretary@patel4witham

  Former international development secretary, Priti Patel, 47, is an ardent Brexiteer, who has supported Boris Johnson in the leadership contest, describing him as the only person who can save Brexit and the Tories.

  She has argued that it would be in the EU's best interests to reopen negotations, as a way of securing any of the £39bn so-called divorce bill.

  Ms Patel resigned from the cabinet In November 2017 following a row over unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians. Her departure followed hot on the heels of Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, plunging Theresa May's cabinet into turmoil.

  She was first elected to the seat of Witham, Essex, in 2010, after working for several years in PR for the Conservative Party, as well as lobbying for tobacco and alcohol industries.

  She is married with one son.

• Dominic Raab

  Foreign Secretary@DominicRaab

  As well as being made foreign secretary, Dominic Raab has been appointed the first secretary of state.

  The staunch Brexiteer, who has been tipped for high office since his election as an MP for Esher and Walton in 2010, has insisted that Brexit must happen on 31 October whether there is a deal or not.

  The former lawyer was appointed as a justice minister in 2015, but was sacked by Theresa May when she became prime minister the following year.

  After David Davis‘s resignation as Brexit secretary in July 2018, Mr Raab was appointed as his successor. He quit only months later in opposition to Theresa May’s Brexit deal, which he said he couldn't “in good conscience” support.

  Mr Raab started his career as an international lawyer, before joining the Foreign Office as a diplomat. He is married with two sons.

• Stephen Barclay

  Brexit Secretary@SteveBarclay

  The 47-year old became the third Brexit Secretary in less than six months when he was appointed to the role last November.

  It was a big promotion for him, although the job itself had been somewhat downgraded, with Mr Barclay being responsible since then for Brexit preparations rather than negotiating with the EU.

  The MP for North East Cambridgeshire, who voted to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum, supported Boris Johnson in the Tory leadership contest.

  Mr Barclay, whose father was a trade union official and mother a civil servant, grew up in Lancashire and was a keen rugby league player in his youth. After studying at Cambridge University, he trained as a solicitor and worked in the City of London for nearly 15 years, including at Barclays Bank (no relation).

  The father-of-two stood unsuccessfully for Parliament twice before being elected in 2010, having made it onto the A-list of candidates drawn up under David Cameron.

• Michael Gove

  Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster@michaelgove

  Michael Gove was knocked out of the leadership race during the MPs' ballots, but as one of the main campaigners for the Vote Leave campaign in the 2016 referendum he was always expected to make it back into the cabinet.

  During the leadership campaign he was forced to address questions surrounding cocaine use. He said it had been a mistake and he deeply regretted taking it at social events 20 years ago, while working as a journalist.

  The MP for Surrey Heath, since 2005, was a key ally of former Prime Minister David Cameron. He made his name as a radical education secretary, bringing in major changes to exams and the curriculum and battling teaching unions during his four years in the role.

  In 2016, he famously scuppered the leadership hopes of his friend and fellow Brexiteer Boris Johnson, by announcing his own candidature on the morning Mr Johnson was due to launch his campaign.

  Mr Gove became environment secretary in June 2017 and he proved a key advocate of Mrs Mays Brexit deal, while other Brexiteer cabinet ministers resigned.
