BREAKING NEWS: Prime Minister May unveils her Cabinet - Boris Johnson is Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond is Chancellor and Amber Rudd is Home Secretary - but George Osborne is SACKED


 Boris Johnson has been appointed Britain's new Foreign Secretary in a shock development tonight, as Theresa May started to build her new Cabinet. She named Philip Hammond as her new Chancellor and sacked George Osborne in a historic evening in Westminster less than two hours after she was
