PM demotes foreign secretary
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson demoted his top diplomat and fired his education minister in a major government shakeup Wednesday, as he tried to move on from a series of missteps and revive his promise to “level up” prosperity across the U.K. In the biggest move, Johnson demoted Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who has faced criticism for delaying his return from a holiday in Greece as the Taliban took over Afghanistan last month. Raab was appointed justice secretary with the added title of deputy prime minister.
