Sajid Javid
shocked Westminster by quitting as chancellor in the middle of Boris Johnson's
cabinet reshuffle.
Mr Javid
rejected the prime minister's order to fire his team of aides, saying "no
self-respecting minister" could accept such a condition.
He has been
replaced as chancellor by Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak - who
just seven months ago was a junior housing minister.
With just 4
weeks to go until the budget, the 39-year-old from Southampton with a
reputation for loyalty will have to get to grips with one of the hardest jobs
in government.
