Boris johnson appoints brexit supporters to cabinet

On July 24, 2019, Boris Johnson, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, announced his new cabinet, which included several Brexit supporters. Here are some of the key appointments:

  1. Dominic Raab - Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Raab was a leading Brexiteer and a former Brexit Secretary under Theresa May. He was a strong supporter of leaving the EU without a deal.
  2. Priti Patel - Home Secretary: Patel was a vocal supporter of Brexit and had previously been a vocal critic of the EU. She was a key figure in the Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum.
  3. Sajid Javid - Chancellor of the Exchequer: Javid was a former Brexit Secretary and had previously been a strong supporter of leaving the EU. He was a key figure in the Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum.
  4. Michael Gove - Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office: Gove was a leading Brexiteer and had previously been a strong supporter of leaving the EU. He was a key figure in the Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum.
  5. Andrea Leadsom - Leader of the House of Commons: Leadsom was a former Brexit Secretary and had previously been a strong supporter of leaving the EU. She was a key figure in the Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum.

These appointments were seen as a sign that Johnson was committed to delivering Brexit and would prioritize the interests of Brexit supporters in his government. However, the appointments also sparked controversy, with some critics arguing that Johnson was surrounding himself with a "hardline" Brexit team that would prioritize a no-deal Brexit over finding a compromise with the EU.
