Johnson: Mr Johnson

johnson: The top cabinet jobs could be announced as early as Wednesday within hours of Mr Johnson entering No 10 if his success triggers resignations by ministers fighting the no-deal Brexit he has threatened, according to The Independent. Explaining why advisers are urging him to send Ms Patel, whose family were Ugandan Indians, to the home office, one source said it would be a clear statement to the British public that Boris will not be a British version of Donald Trump . It would also ensure a woman in a prominent post. They are also likely to include Iain Duncan Smith, another polarising right-winger, who is expected to land the crucial job of chief whip, as Mr Johnson wrestles with his lack of a Commons majority. Mr Johnson and the US president are friends, and the favourite for No 10 has been accused of apeing Mr Trump's incendiary style and racially-charged language while refusing to criticise him over Kim Darroch's sacking. If Sajid Javid, the current home secretary, is confirmed as the new chancellor, it would also be the first cabinet with two of the great offices of state filled by politicians from ethnic minorities. His closeness to the White House is certain to be a controversial feature of his premiership, particularly if he follows through on his priority of a quickfire post-Brexit trade deal.
