UK housing minister named as new Brexit point man
By EUobserver
UK housing minister Dominic Raab was appointed the new Brexit secretary on Monday, the prime minister's office announced. The move comes after the dramatic overnight resignation of David Davis, the UK's top negotiator. Raab is considered a close ally of premier Theresa May, who could now face a leadership challenge from hardline Brexiteers. May and her entire cabinet only agreed their new Brexit customs policy last Friday.
