A Tory MP who appeared to 'give protesters outside Downing Street the middle finger' has been made education minister
Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been reshuffling his top team in an attempt to plug the gaps left by over 50 resignations in the past three days.
Another controversial appointment is that of Peter Bone, a right-wing Brexiteer who has previously spoken of his opposition to same-sex marriage and, most recently, told LBC he put himself into the "pro-life" category.Mr Bone has now been made the new deputy leader of the House of Commons.His appointment has also triggered anger, not least because the role has been unfilled since 2018.
"Peter Bone as a Minister shows that Boris Johnson is not yet finished stuffing his team with loony nodding dogs," wrote one Twitter user.Another said: "Boris Johnson has basically invented a job for Peter Bone."
