Boris Johnson was just one of the changes Theresa May made to her new cabinet last night.

Two other leave campaigners have also been appointed. David Davis will take on the new role of Brexit secretary and Liam Fox becomes secretary of state for international trade.

Philip Hammond's taken over from George Osborne as Chancellor and Amber Rudd has replaced Theresa May as Home Secretary.

This morning the new Prime Minister has taken to sacking government ministers by phone with Michael Gove being the biggest casualty so far, losing his job as Justice Secretary.

Nicky Morgan has also been told she's lost her role as Education Secretary.
