| Sajid Javid |
Javid, the first person from an ethnic minority to be appointed to run the Treasury, is expected to oversee an expansion of public spending in an attempt to prepare the economy for the turbulence of Brexit,
The former home secretary has previously advocated a £100bn infrastructure fund over the next five years and £50bn for housing, supported by higher borrowing, as well as a programme to recruit 20,000 police officers.
This is from the new chancellor.
