The Telegraph: Theresa May has appointed Jeremy Hunt as the new Foreign Secretary in the wake of Boris Johnson’s resignation.

Mr Hunt, the former health secretary, takes over after Mr Johnson accused Theresa May of killing Brexit, as he resigned and plunged the Prime Minister’s leadership into crisis.

The former foreign secretary told Mrs May the Brexit “dream is dying, suffocated by self-doubt” and accused her of   raising the “white flag” of surrender to the EU.

In a further reshuffle of her Cabinet tonight, Culture Secretary Matt Hancock was promoted to Health Secretary, and his position was taken up by Attorney General Jeremy Wright QC.
