Gove’s replacement, Justice Secretary Liz Truss, and the new Education Secretary Justine Greening both attended state schools – as did May. Hammond had served as foreign secretary in Cameron’s cabinet, but he has had previous experience of a Treasury role.

President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said that he looks forward to “a fruitful working relationship”.
“The Prime Minister explained that we would need some time to prepare for these negotiations and spoke about her hopes that these could be conducted in a constructive and positive spirit”, added the spokesperson.
High-profile Brexit campaigner Priti Patel took Ms Greening’s old job while former energy minister Andrea Leadsom, another “Leave” proponent who was Ms May’s last rival for leader to throw in the towel on Monday, moved to environment and food. The referendum ended with voters shockingly voting to leave the European Union, or as is commonly called, they voted in favor of ‘Brexit.’ Following the results, Cameron offered his resignation. David Davis has been appointed as the secretary of state for exiting the EU.
She was appointed Home Secretary in May 2010 and holds the record for being one of the longest-serving home secretaries in Britain.
She is also Britain’s second female head of government after Margaret Thatcher.
Michael Fallon, an early supporter of May for the Party leadership, remained as Defence Secretary.
Controversially, she installed former London Mayor Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. That key job went to veteran Conservative lawmaker David Davis – a longstanding advocate of leaving the European Union – and he will lead at least two years of negotiations with the bloc.
Britain hasn’t yet formally triggered talks on exiting the European Union and it’s unclear when it will do so. That will go to a dedicated “minister for Brexit”.
“I hope that your vast political experience will be sought after both in the United Kingdom and in the worldwide community”, Putin’s message to Cameron said.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister David Cameron resigned, and was replaced at 10 Downing Street by Theresa May.
A statement from Netanyahu’s Office yesterday said he sent a letter to Mrs.
“Based on the public comments we’ve seen from the incoming prime minister, she intends to pursue a course that’s consistent with the prescription that President Obama has offered”, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. He thanked him for “standing beside Israel, the good relations and the strengthening of ties” during his six-year leadership.
New finance minister Philip Hammond who took over from George Osborne, a stalwart of Cameron’s government who fell by the wayside in the transition, confirmed there would be “no emergency budget“.
“The next person to find that out will be Jean-Claude Juncker”, she reportedly told MPs, referring to Brexit negotiations with the European Commission president.
The new leader stressed she would fight against social injustice and that she believes in the unity of all aspects of the United Kingdom. It has had a shock as a result of the decision on June 23 to leave the European Union.

He then returned to Downing Street, where he left two bottles of red wine for Mrs May in her new office, before his final departure.
