Sajid Javid outside the Treasury

Sajid Javid: Chancellor of the Exchequer

Sajid Javid's 18-year banking career that saw him rise to be a £3m-a-year board member at Deutsche Bank will stand him in good stead as he takes the reins of the UK economy.

The Remainer, who backed a hard Brexit during the Tory leadership campaign, is the son of a Pakistani immigrant bus driver who arrived in the UK in 1961 with just £1 in his pocket.

Javid, 49, was raised on Stapleton Road in Bristol, which was once dubbed 'Britain's worst street' and described as a 'lawless hellhole where murder, rape, shootings, drug-pushing, prostitution, knifings and violent robbery are commonplace'.

After attending state school and Exeter University he went on to become an investment banker for nearly two decades.

He has spoken about having mixed-race children with wife Laura and the racism he faced as a child, before politics and also when he joined the Conservative Party.

Mr Javid ran against Mr Johnson in the Tory leadership campaign, eventually finishing fourth. He is the most senior Remain voter in the Government.

After becoming Home Secretary last year, he made a push for No. 10 on the back of Theresa May's resignation. But after being knocked out of the leadership race, he moved swiftly to back Mr Johnson and was widely tipped as the top choice to move to number 11.

Priti Patel in Downing Street

Priti Patel: Home Secretary

The Essex MP - who was once an outspoken proponent of the death penalty - has made a remarkable return to the Cabinet after being sacked by Theresa May.

The mother-of-one is back two years after being forced to resign over secret meetings with Israeli officials, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The 47-year-old Brexiteer became infamous in 2011 when she called for hanging to be reintroduced during her first appearance on Question Time, calling capital punishment a 'deterrent'.

Mrs Patel's Ugandan-Indian family arrived penniless in Britain in 1972.

They were forced to abandon a fortune in tea and coffee plantations as they fled the military dictator Idi Amin.

Her father, Sushil - which is also her middle name - ditched plans to go to university and opened a corner shop in Tottenham, North London, with his wife Anjana and his parents.

Mrs Patel, who has been married to marketing consultant Alex Sawyer since 2004, lived above the shop and worked most mornings behind the counter before school.

She was educated at a comprehensive school in Watford, joined the Tory party at 17 and studied economics at Keele University.

A former PR and policy adviser for drinks multinational Diageo she went on to work for the Conservative Party before being picked for her very safe seat in 2010.

After a spell working for the Conservative Party under former leader William Hague, the MP for Witham became a lobbyist for cigarette companies.

Mrs Patel was humiliatingly forced to resign from the PM's top team in November 2017 after the secret meetings with Israeli officials emerged.

Dominic Raab, a karate black belt, is married without any children to Erika (together), a Brazilian-born marketing executive

Dominic Raab: Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State

The MP for Esher and Walton worked as an in-house lawyer for the Foreign Office in 2000 has now returned as head of the department.

The former grammar school boy, born to a Czech Jewish father who fled the Nazis in 1938 to Britain as a refugee before the Second World War, helped bring war criminals to justice in The Hague during his first stint in the Foreign Office.

Mr Raab is a karate black belt and former boxing blue at Oxford University in 1995. The 45-year-old is married without any children to Erika, a Brazilian-born marketing executive who was wheeled out for photoshoots in his leadership campaign.

During the campaign he described how his father Peter fled the Nazis and came to Britain aged six as he accused Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell of not standing up for 'free and tolerant democracy' that welcomed his dad.

His father learned English, worked for M&S as a food manager and met his mother Jean, who was from Bromley, Kent. He died when Dominic was 12 after losing his battle with cancer.

It's a major promotion for Mr Raab, who has just four months experience in the Cabinet after a stint as Brexit Secretary last year.

He stood in the Tory leadership race on a hardcore Brexiteer ticket even harder than Mr Johnson. But after being knocked out he quickly backed his former rival and supported him in his campaign.

Mr Raab is in favour of a No Deal Brexit and replaces Jeremy Hunt. He will step into immediate fire with an ongoing diplomatic spat with Iran.

Michael Gove in Downing Street

Michael Gove: Cabinet Office Minister

Seasoned minister Michael Gove who blazed a trail as a reformer in departments across Whitehall has been handed a role at the heart of government.

The adopted son of Aberdeen fishworkers already has four Cabinet jobs under his belt - heading education, justice and environment departments as well as a stint as chief whip.

While in charge of the nation's schools under David Cameron, the Brexiteer pushed through a series of controversial reforms to the curriculum and axed the Building Schools for the Future programme.

But he was criticised most for introducing Free Schools – state funded schools which are exempt from teaching the National Curriculum.

Critics claim the schools take money and pupils from existing schools, increase segregation and division and lead to the break-up of the state school system.

As Environment Secretary he championed a war on plastic - introducing charges for plastic bags and doing away with single-use straws and cups.

He was a firm backer of Theresa May's Brexit deal to the last, which damaged him in the eyes of the more purist Brexiteer elements.

Mr Gove had a tilt at the Tory leadership but came undone when revelations about his past drug use were revealed.

He admitted using cocaine when he was younger after it came to light in an unauthorised biography.

Mr Gove, 51, is a former Times journalist, 51, who has two children with newspaper columnist Sarah Vine. Mr Gove indicated that his drive to be prime minister is fuelled by a desire to show his parents they were right to take the 'risk' of adopting him.

Mr Wallace in Downing Street

Ben Wallace: Defence Secretary

The former military hero who served in the Scots Guard and was mentioned in dispatches in 1992 has been named Defence Secretary.

The 51-year-old attended Sandhurst military academy after a short stint as a ski instructor and served for eight years in Northern Ireland.

The Remainer rose to the rank of captain and was mentioned in dispatches in 1992 after an incident involving a terrorist cell.

Mr Wallace - who also served in Cyprus, Germany and Central America - has been married to Liza since 2001 and they have three children.

He makes the step up to the Cabinet after spending three years as security minister - during which the country has battled a spate of major terror attacks.

His first call to action in his new role will be bringing about the return of the British ship seized by Iranian forces last week.

Mr Johnson has suggested he wants to boost defence spending and build more naval ships to protect UK-flagged vessels in the Gulf.

Gavin Williamson was sacked as defence secretary in May after leaking secret details of a meeting about Huawei

Gavin Williamson: Education Secretary

The state-educated South Staffordshire MP, who studied social sciences at the University of Bradford, has made an astonishing return to the Cabinet.

The former Defence Secretary was sacked just three months ago for leaking secrets from a National Security Council meeting.

But he was given the job of overseeing the nation's schools as a 'thank you' from Boris for helping to mastermind his leadership campaign.

Mr Williamson has been dubbed the Cabinet's Private Pike, after the hapless Dad's Army character, for a series of gaffes while in the Cabinet.

His appointment comes just months after it appeared his political career seemed over when he narrowly escaped prosecution under the Official Secrets Act for the leak.

While Defence Secretary in 2018, the father-of-two confessed to a fling that at one time threatened to end his marriage with wife Joanne.

Not long after being promoted from Tory chief whip he admitted to a brief office romance with a former colleague. He said it was 'a dreadful mistake' but Joanne had forgiven him.

Mr Williamson, 43, who was made Defence Secretary following the resignation of Sir Michael Fallon over sexual harassment claims, insisted the relationship had not gone beyond kissing 'a couple of times'.

It occurred before he embarked on a career in politics but he is understood to have revealed details to party officials when he first ran for selection as an MP more than a decade ago.

Mat Hancock remains as Health Secretaty

Matt Hancock: Health and Social Care Secretary

Matt Hancock stays in one of the hardest job in government despite aiming volleys of criticism at Mr Johnson while running against him for the leadership.

He told an interviewer 'f*ck f*ck Business' after the new Prime Minister's much criticised reaction to firms' No Deal Brexit fears.

But the married father of three, 40, did a superb reverse ferret to become one of Mr Johnson's chief cheerleaders.

This included reportedly trying to block the release of a paper he commissioned which recommended taxes on milkshakes because it ran contrary to his new boss's opposition to 'sin taxes'.

He also poked fun at himself during the campaign after being caught on camera wolfing down a high-sugar stroopwafel ahead of an early-morning TV interview.

Last year he was accused of breaking ethics rules after he praised a private health firm app in a newspaper article sponsored by its maker.

But he has since made some hard-hitting interventions in areas like the impact of social media on health.

In May he joined Ms Mordaunt in backing the Generation Why? report showing that the Tories needed to become more relevant to younger voters.

He called on the party to change its 'tone' towards modern Britain or face Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister, in a speech widely seen as setting out his leadership credentials.

Jo Johnson entering No 10 to be made Universities Minister

Jo Johnson: Universities Minister

Mr Johnson's acceptance of a ministerial post appears to mark an abrupt volte-face from November, when he shared a platform at a Remainer rally with television presenter and ex-footballer Gary Lineker.

The Orpington MP, 47, in the younger brother of the Prime Minister and also an Old Etonian. He is married to the Guardian journalist Amelia Gentleman.

His appointment to Universities Minister means he will attend the hardline Brexiteer-dominated administration formed in a bloodbath of the ministries throughout the course of Wednesday.

The role comes under the jurisdiction of two departments, Education and Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Both of them are now led by hardline Leavers in Andrea Leadsom and Gavin Williamson.

He quit as a transport minister in November saying that Theresa May's Brexit deal was a massive failure in British statecraft on the scale of the Suez Crisis in 1956.

Talking about the original 2016 EU referendum at the November People's Vote rally in London Mr Johnson said: 'I think it's fair to say that back then we didn't really know what it would entail, the ramifications of leaving the European Union.

'It's becoming clear that there are very few positives. It's almost unanimous that people think it will have some sort of debilitating effect on our economy, at the very least. I think it's very rare in life that you get to use the benefit of hindsight.'

But he was quick to fall in behind his brother when he announced his run for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

He accompanied Boris to a garden centre during a visit to his suburban London constituency and was present along with the rest of the Johnson clan when he was made leader on Tuesday.

Alok Sharma in Downing Street as he attended his first Cabinet meeting

Alok Sharma: International Development Secretary

An ardent and long-time supporter of Boris Johnson, Alok Sharma was widely tipped before the reshuffle to finally make it to the Cabinet.

He was frequently sent out to bat for Mr Johnson during the Tory leadership campaign and his hard work was rewarded as he was last night made Rory Stewart's successor at the Department for International Development.

It will be a big step up for Mr Sharma who only started his ministerial career in July 2016 in the wake of the EU referendum having first become an MP way back in 2010 when he won the seat of Reading West from the Labour Party.

He had a relatively low profile in Theresa May's government but did hit the headlines when he was housing minister in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.

Residents affected by the fire confronted Mr Sharma in June 2017 as they demanded to know why more had not been done by the government to help rehouse people who had been made homeless by the tragic blaze.

His promotion to the Cabinet will surprise many given his support for numerous big policies which his new boss is known to be cool on.

For example, Mr Sharma is a big backer of the High Speed 2 railway line and Heathrow expansion.

Mr Johnson is believed to be considering scrapping the former while his opposition to the latter is well known.

Mr Sharma also voted to Remain at the 2016 referendum but his loyalty to Mr Johnson was apparently enough to overcome policy differences and opposite votes on Brexit to get him into the Cabinet.

The 51-year-old was a chartered accountant and then a banker before he entered parliament, representing the area where he grew up.

He was born in India but moved to Reading with his parents at the age of five. He is married and has two daughters.

Grant Shapps succeeds Chris Grayling as Transport Secretary

Grant Shapps: Transport Secretary

A key part of Boris Johnson's Tory leadership campaign team, Grant Shapps was tasked with keeping track of how many MPs the front runner could rely on during the early parliamentary ballots.

He performed his duties with aplomb as each of the results from the ballots corresponded almost exactly with what he said his boss would get.

He has been rewarded with a return to the political frontline after a four year absence.

His appointment as Chris Grayling's replacement at the Department for Transport proved to be one of Mr Johnson's more controversial moves given his chequered history with the Tories.

He posed problems for David Cameron with a series of scandals leading up to his resignation as a minister in November 2015.

After 10 years of soaring through the Tory ranks, his rapid rise stalled at the height of the 2015 general election campaign when he was accused of anonymously editing his own entry and those of other Conservative politicians on internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia.

The disclosure that Mr Shapps, or someone acting on his behalf, was suspected of engaging in 'sock puppetry' - creating a fake online identity for improper purposes - proved highly embarrassing to the Tories.

At the time, then prime minister Mr Cameron stood by him, insisting he was doing a 'great job', while Mr Shapps strenuously denied the allegations and dismissed them as 'bonkers'.

An investigation by Wikipedia found there was no definitive evidence linking the account used to alter the entries with Mr Shapps, and the encyclopaedia administrator who blocked the account and revealed the allegations to the media was severely criticised in an internal inquiry.

But following the 2015 election, Mr Shapps was removed from the post of party chairman and made a minister at the Department for International Development - a move widely seen as a demotion.

He was forced to resign from the post after just six months when it emerged that he had been warned about bullying among young party activists almost a year before 21-year-old Elliott Johnson took his own life.

Mr Shapps denied being informed about any allegations of bullying, sexual abuse or blackmail, but quit his post saying that 'responsibility should rest somewhere'.

Just months before the Wikipedia scandal, Mr Shapps was accused of having breached the codes of conduct for ministers and MPs when it was revealed he held a second job after entering parliament.

Mr Shapps was exposed as having continued working as a marketer of get-rich-quick schemes under the pseudonym Michael Green.

Robert Buckland takes over from David Gauke as Justice Secretary

Robert Buckland: Justice Secretary

David Gauke's successor at the Ministry of Justice was given a massive promotion by Boris Johnson.

A man with a relatively low profile in Westminster, Robert Buckland had been serving as prisons minister before being bumped up to Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor in the new PM's reshuffle.

His ministerial career has been dominated by crime and punishment roles with his first job being solicitor general but he has a reputation in the Westminster tea rooms as a happy and cordiale politician.

His status as a QC, former prisons minister and former solicitor general means he is uniquely qualified to perform his new job - previous appointments as Lord Chancellor have raised eyebrows because they did not have a legal background.

As a result the criminal justice world is likely to welcome his appointment.

The 50-year-old MP for South Swindon overtakes Wales Secretary Alun Cairns as the most senior Welshman in government.

He has long been tipped for a big job in government but many believed his no-frills approach may have cost him promotions to more outspoken Tory colleagues in the past.

Stephen Barclay kept his role as Brexit Secretary

Stephen Barclay: Brexit Secretary

One of only a handful of Theresa May's old team to keep their seat at the top table, Stephen Barclay remains Britain's point man in talks with the European Union.

His status as an ardent Brexiteer will likely have done him massive favours when it came to Mr Johnson deciding who should negotiate with Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, in the run up to October 31.

Mr Barclay was ridiculed when he first became Brexit Secretary in November 2018 after the resignations of David Davis and Dominic Raab from the role, mainly because very few people actually knew he was.

However, he has grown in confidence in the job in recent months and has been a vocal advocate for keeping the option of a No Deal split on the table.

He recently hit the headlines after he laughed in public at claims from Philip Hammond, the now ex-chancellor, that a No Deal Brexit would cost the Treasury almost £90 billion in lost revenues.

Many in Westminster were unsurprised he kept his Cabinet role after EU sources said he recently used a meeting with Mr Barnier as a 'job interview' to try to impress Mr Johnson.

He reportedly repeatedly told Mr Barnier that the Withdrawal Agreement was dead in a series of angry exchanges which puzzled many in Brussels.

The 47-year-old worked in banking before entering parliament as the MP for North East Cambridgeshire in 2010 - a Conservative safe seat. He is married and has three children.

Rishio Sunak replaced Liz Truss as Chief Secretary to the Treasury

Rishi Sunak: Chief Secretary to the Treasury

Rishi Sunak, long seen as a rising Tory star, has joined the Cabinet as Chief Secretary to the Treasury - meaning he will be the driving force behind the looming Spending Review.

Mr Sunak, 39, the grandson of Indian immigrants, and his father was an NHS GP.

He went to Winchester public school before Oxford University, an MBA at Standford in the US, and then made his fortune by founding a hedge fund.

He is married to the Akshata, the daughter of Indian billionaire NR Narayana Murthy, making him one of the richest MPs in Parliament.

Mr Sunak was once labelled the 'Maharajah of the Yorkshire Dales' when he was selected as candidate for William Hague's old Commons seat of Richmond,

The Brexiteer Tory has held the safe seat, where he lives with his wife and two daughters, since 2015.

Amber Rudd managed to keep her DWP job

Amber Rudd: Work and Pensions Secretary

Amber Rudd managed to keep hold of her Cabinet job, and gain the Women and Equalities brief, after she softened her opposition to a No Deal Brexit.

As a leading Remainer who had previously been vocally against a disorderly split from Brussels, Ms Rudd performed a screeching U-turn during the Tory leadership campaign.

Her flip flop came after Boris Johnson had made clear that only people who supported No Deal as a Brexit option could serve in his administration.

Her decision to change her mind about No Deal prompted widespread criticism.

She also managed to keep her job despite having previously been a vocal critic of Mr Johnson.

During the 2016 EU referendum campaign, she said of the new Tory leader: 'He's the life and soul of the party but he's not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening.'

She was the only prominent backer of Jeremy Hunt to keep a big job in the Cabinet when Mr Johnson shuffled his deck.

She has had an eventful 12 months as she was forced to resign as home secretary in April 2018 in the wake of the Windrush scandal.

But she was swiftly brought back by Theresa May to head up the Department for Work and Pensions just a matter of months later in November 2018.

Previously tipped as a Tory leader, her hopes of winning a contest within the current version of the Conservative Party were made almost impossible by her EU referendum vote and the fact she only has a majority of 346 in her Hastings and Rye constituency.

The 55-year-old has two children and was married to the writer A.A. Gill in the early 1990s while her brother, Roland Rudd, runs the People's Vote campaign.
