New Brexit secretary Dominic Raab arrives at Downing Street. The pro-Brexit former housing minister appointed following David Davis’s resignation.

Mr Raab, who is currently housing minister, was a prominent Leave campaigner during the 2016 referendum.

Mr Davis quit late on Sunday night, saying Theresa May had “given away too much too easily”.

Penny Mordaunt, the international development secretary tweeted: “Very welcome appointment of Dominic Raab to DExEU, Highly capable, across the issues, attention to detail, Leave supporter and pragmatist. Look forward to working with him to deliver Brexit.”

Some of his past gaffes could come back to haunt him, including once branding feminists “obnoxious bigots” in 2011.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
