Prime minister Boris Johnson has swapped one former investment bank executive for another with his surprise move to appoint Rishi Sunak as the new chancellor of the exchequer.

Johnson named Sunak as the replacement to Sajid Javid on Thursday in what was one of the biggest changes to the cabinet to emerge from his reshuffle of frontbench MPs.
