Simon Clarke, Treasury minister. Hardline Brexiteer and Leave Means Leave supporter thrown into the Treasury to shake things up. History buff. Only 34 years old. Teesside lad who pinched Middlesbrough South from Labour in a rare Tory highlight of the 2017 election. Six foot seven inches tall, making him parliament’s second-tallest MP. Nicknamed “Stilts” at school.
Mims Davies, work and pensions minister. Brexiteer, promoted from sports minister. Loves long-distance running, but says she’s not much good at it. Used to be a presenter on local radio. It’s short for Miriam.
James Duddridge, Brexit minister. whatsapp number list Brexiteer and Vote Leave campaigner. Former banker with Barclays who ran its operations in Botswana. Africa minister under David Cameron, but immediately sacked by Theresa May in 2016. Spent the subsequent years on a one-man mission to force John Bercow from the speaker’s chair. Failed. Great beard.
Maverick Brexiteer. Daughter of a Scouse bus driver, raised on an Anfield council estate. Former nurse who ran a community school in Zambia. Has tried repeatedly to cut the time limit for abortions, but says she is “pro-choice up to a point.” Former aide to Oliver Letwin, which is hard to imagine now. Dismissed David Cameron and George Osborne as “arrogant posh boys,” but loves the latest Eton-educated PM. Famously skipped parliament to appear on reality TV. Was ridiculed for writing novels in her spare time. Now a best-selling author who commands six-figure advances.
Michael Ellis, solicitor general. Remainer. Trained barrister, promoted from transport in the reshuffle. Best known in parliament for getting a plaque installed in memory of his predecessor as Northampton MP, Spencer Perceval, who was shot dead in members’ lobby in 1812. Best known in the press gallery for ludicrously over-the-top yelling and gesturing at Labour benches during PMQs.
