New British premier removes another Cameron supporter as minister
LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May has made more changes to the government, removing another key supporter of predecessor David Cameron and appointing several new ministers.
Ros Altmann, Cameron’s minister for pensions, was also dismissed, along with business minister Anna Soubry, a leading voice on the “remain” side during Britain’s recent European Union referendum campaign.
May also backed staying in the EU but has appointed both “leave” and “remain” supporters to her Conservative government.
The new prime minister has made dramatic changes, placing leading proponents of the “Brexit” in charge of foreign affairs, international trade and EU negotiations.
