After the removal of both ministers, Johnson appointed Nadim Jahavi as the new finance minister. At the same time, the Chief of Staff of the British Cabinet, Steve Barsley, has been given the responsibility of Health Secretary. Born in Iraq, Jahvi came to Britain as a child with his Kurdish family, who did not speak English, before pursuing a lucrative business career.
Jahvi, 55, co-founded the polling company YouGov. He was active in local conservative politics in London before becoming an MP in 2010. He was widely praised for overseeing Britain’s pandemic vaccine rollout.
