United Kingdom opens trade talks for Brexit in January 2019
“It’s inevitable there’s going to be a certain amount of plaster coming off the ceiling”, Johnson said in his first short press statement as foreign secretary today, adding he wanted “more Britain abroad” and a “greater global profile” following Brexit. Ros Altmann, Cameron’s minister for pensions, has also been dismissed.

New finance minister Philip Hammond signaled he would take a less aggressive approach to cutting the budget deficit than his predecessor George Osborne, who was dumped on Wednesday.
Australia has called for a free trade deal with Britain as soon as possible in a Brexit boost for Prime Minister Theresa May.
Johnson, London’s popular former mayor, helped the “leave” campaign win last month’s referendum. Mr Liam Fox, a former Defence Secretary, will take charge of global trade. The prime minister said the offer was proof she could “make Brexit work for Britain”.
Still, Hardt suggests: “Britain remaining in the European Union should also be an option for the new government – it would be better for Great Britain and the rest of the European Union”.
Even so, Mr Johnson’s elevation to such a prestigious post represents a remarkable change of fortunes in a career that has had its share of them. They called him “a liar with his back to the wall” and denounced his behaviour as “outrageous”. But his appointment as foreign secretary caused some consternation around the world. She blocked the use of the cannons, citing fears that they could cause serious injuries.
“With his new responsibilities we are expecting a more positive attitude from Mr. Johnson”, said the official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.
But completely different political tasks now stand at the forefront, he told Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
“Over 800 came to Boris Johnson’s first all staff meeting [at the] Foreign Office”.
But other appointments were equally significant.
Some 52 percent of Britons who voted June 23 wanted to leave the European Union – a position uncompromisingly reflected in the worldwide face of the new government through the triumvirate of Johnson, Davis and Fox.
“The pragmatic hard headed businessmen on the continent will do everything to ensure trade with Britain continues uninterrupted”, he wrote.
The libertarian Davis – a former special forces reservist who boasts that he has broken his nose five times – has sparred with May for years over the powers of Britain’s spy agencies, which she oversaw as home secretary and he thinks are too intrusive. That ensures that one of the biggest political offices – and Mrs May’s old job – remains in the hands of a woman.
Cameron’s successor, Theresa May, named the former mayor of London and one-time EU-bashing Brussels journalist as her foreign secretary late on Wednesday, and put another veteran Eurosceptic, David Davis, in charge of European Union exit negotiations.
She has also fired Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who backed Gove’s short-lived leadership campaign.
