May and the Cabinet Office will continue to take the lead in negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>While Barclay backed Brexit and represents a very Euroskeptic constituency, he did not have a high-profile role during the European Union referendum campaign. He was previously a junior minister in the health and social care department and is not widely known beyond Westminster.<\/p>\n<p>The role was initially offered to Michael Gove, who turned down the job after being told there is no prospect he could renegotiate Mays draft agreement with Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>May also shored up her support in Cabinet by bringing back Amber Rudd as work and pensions secretary, replacing Brexiteer Esther McVey who also quit on Thursday. Rudd, a loyalist who was a leading figure in the campaign to remain in the European Union in 2016, was forced to resign as home secretary over an immigration scandal in April.<\/p>\n<p>Barclay was previously head of anti-money laundering and sanctions at Barclays Bank and also worked for the Financial Services Authority before becoming a member of parliament in 2010. He is the MP for North-East Cambridgeshire, a large agricultural region which includes the area of Fenland, which had the sixth highest share of Leave voters in the country (71.4 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Hammond replaced Barclay at the department of health, John Penrose was appointed as a minister in the Northern Ireland office and Kwasi Kwarteng moved from the Treasury to the Brexit department.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/judge-orders-donald-trump-white-house-to-return-press-credentials-to-cnns-jim-acosta\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Judge orders White House to return press credentials to CNNs Acosta<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/stephen-barclay-appointed-new-uk-brexit-secretary\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON \u2014 Theresa May appointed two new ministers to her top team Friday, as she sought to steady her..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
