'Remainers are STILL in charge' Nicky Morgan beats Jacob Rees-Mogg to land top Brexit job
JACOB REES-MOGG has been beaten to a top Government position by Remainer Nicky Morgan, with critics blasting the appointment for keeping pro-EU MPs “in charge”. Nigel Farage tweeted in response to her appointment: "Remainers are still in charge despite Brexit vote." Mrs Morgan received the backing of Labour MPs who want to stop the PM’s hardline Brexit plan.Mrs Morgan won 200 of the 570 votes cast and ended up with 290 votes after the fifth round of voting. In Mrs Morgan's manifesto for the job, she said that it was "more important than ever to forge a wide consensus on Brexit and for parliament to question ministers on their decisions". She also made it clear she would be the first woman to hold the position.Mrs Morgan has clashed with the Prime Minister after she was axed from the cabinet. Since Mrs Morgan was sacked by Theresa May last year, she has been one of the most prominent MPs warning of economic dangers of Brexit. On Twitter, Mrs Morgan wrote: "Delighted & honoured to be elected by my fellow MPs as Chair of the House of Commons Select Committee. Lots to do now.” Conservatives Richard Bacon, Charlie Elphicke, Stephen Hammond and John Penrose were also in the race for the job. The fellow front-runner for the job, Brexit-supporting Mr Rees-Mogg, has built up an army of followers with even a campaign urging him to stand as Prime Minister.

Tory MP Bob Neil has kept his role as chairman of the Justice Select Committee.
