Liz Truss to replace Dominic Raab, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel retain roles
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday appointed a new-look Cabinet to revamp his Brexiteer government after controversies over COVID-19, Afghanistan and taxes, demoting his under-fire Foreign Minister Dominic Raab.
Mr. Raab took over as Justice Secretary but will retain the role of Deputy Prime Minister, Downing Street confirmed. The former lawyer, who deputised for Mr. Johnson when he was in intensive care with COVID-19 in April last year, has faced sustained criticism for his handling of the Afghan crisis.
He was replaced by Trade Secretary Liz Truss, who has brokered a series of deals since Britain’s full exit from the European Union in January.
