I Must Have Missed Something

Who is this new Brexit minister and what has happened to the other bloke?
Was it David Davis or something like that?

I still don't understand. What has happened to David Davis?

Is this new bloke his assistant or something?

I rarely have knowledge of MPs until they achieve high office. The link says it is a leaver replacing a leaver. Unsure why it was decided to do so, but one will watch progress with interest.

He is a junior minister - nothing has changed at the top.

"junior minister" so just part of the team.
I'm not aware that any cabinet ministers have been shuffled.
