Following the resignation of Dominic Raab, Stephen Barclay was named as the new Brexit Secretary on Friday.

Barclay’s appointment comes as Theresa May attempts to replace various resignations as ministers quit following the publication of the proposed Brexit agreement.

Friday saw two senior ministers and junior ministers and aides quit following the proposed Brexit agreement.

So who is the new Brexit secretary?

Barclay has been the minister of state in the health and social care department since January and a public Leave voter.

It was reported that before Barclay was appointed, Environment Secretary Michael Gove and Attorney General Geoffrey Cox declined the role.

Barclay said he was “delighted to accept” the role.

“We now need to keep up the momentum to finalise the withdrawal agreement and outline political declaration and deliver a Brexit that works for the whole UK,” he said.

“Looking forward to working with a talented team of ministers and officials to do just that.”

For some, the new addition to the Brexit party means very little.

“Stephen Barclay’s appointment changes absolutely nothing,” said Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer.

“After two years of negotiation, the prime minister has failed to deliver a Brexit deal that can command the support of Parliament.”

“A new face in the Brexit department will do nothing to bring this divided government back together,” he added.

Meanwhile, Amber Rudd replaced Esther McVey and has been named the new work and pensions secretary.

Rudd resigned as home secretary seven months ago.

On the news, Dianne Abbot tweeted: “Amber Rudd resigned because of her mismanagement of Windrush scandal. Now Theresa May puts her in the DWP. Let’s hope she shows more concern for the victims of this department’s unfairness and cruelty than she did at the Home Office.”
