Brexit campaign, Boris Johnson has been appointed British foreign secretary

New Prime Minister Theresa May has made Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who led the Brexit campaign, foreign secretary in her new government.

He replaces Philip Hammond, who becomes chancellor. Ex-Energy Secretary Amber Rudd is home secretary and Eurosceptic David Davis is the Brexit minister.

No 10 said ex-Chancellor George Osborne had resigned from the government.

On arriving at Downing Street, Mrs May vowed to lead a government that works for all not just the "privileged few".
