BRITAIN-EU-POLITICS

British Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union (Brexit Minister) David Davis arrives at the Treasury in central London on July 14, 2016 on the first full day in his new role following his appointment by new prime minister Theresa May.
New Prime Minister Theresa May is sending in former special forces soldier David Davis to negotiate Britain’s exit from the EU.
Davis, a senior Conservative Party figure who is a sharp operator and a gut instinct politician, was a “Leave” campaigner in the referendum on Britain’s EU membership. Now the right-wing libertarian and ardent eurosceptic is in charge of handling the tricky negotiations that come with the newly-created role of secretary of state for exiting the European Union.
