British PM BorisJohnson overhauls cabinet with Brexit hardliners
[LONDON] New Prime Minister Boris Johnson named Brexit hardliners to top posts on Wednesday, replacing most of the cabinet after vowing to get a new divorce deal with the European Union or leave without one by October 31.
But he has only a wafer-thin working majority in parliament, and is a divisive figure among the wider public. Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, whose country would be hardest hit by a"no deal" Brexit, was more blunt. But his election with fewer than 100,000 votes from Conservative party members leaves him vulnerable to charges that he has no mandate to govern.
