Dominic Raab has held some of the highest profile positions in government.
Raab started his career as a lawyer in the City before joining the Foreign Office in 2000, where he helped bring war criminals to justice in The Hague.
He switched from the civil service to hard politics in 2006 when he was appointed chief of staff to the Tory shadow Home Secretary, who was David Davis.
Elected as the Tory MP for Esher and Walton in 2010, he gained his first cabinet post following the last General Election in 2017.
Theresa May appointed him Minister of State for Courts and Justice.

Then, following David Davis' resignation in July, 2018, Raab became the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, AKA Brexit Secretary.
It was a position he held for just five months before quitting on November 15 in protest at Theresa May's Brexit deal.
Raab accused the then Prime Minister of "betraying public trust".
When May resigned he even threw his hat into the ring for the top job, before backing Boris Johnson when he was knocked out.
He was rewarded with the position of Foreign Secretary in Boris's new cabinet.

However, Raab, who has a black belt in karate, has had some trouble with a few geographical facts.
When he was still Brexit Secretary, he revealed he "hadn't understood" the importance of Britain's trade with France.
The short answer is - it's very important.
Port officials claim as much as 17 per cent of the UK's trade in goods, or £122billion each year, goes through Dover to either Calais or Dunkirk.
Speaking at a tech event in London, Raab said: "I hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing."

And this wasn't the only time that the sea confused Raab.
Again during his time as Brexit Secretary, Raab was speaking to the Exiting the EU Committee in July 2018 when he confused which sea separates Britain from Ireland.
The minister insisted there would be no "border down the Red Sea" after Brexit.
Unfortunately the Red Sea runs from the Suez in Egypt to Yemen and is nothing to do with the UK.
DUP MP Sammy Wilson joked at the time: "You can draw as many borders down the Red Sea as you want, I don't mind."
Meanwhile, it's claimed the Tory MP has the exact same thing for lunch every, single day.
A Mirror investigation revealed the secret activities of his diary secretary who was caught selling sex to sugar daddies online.
She bragged how her job was to "run his life" and she said that included fetching his lunch every day.
She claimed Raab had the same Pret a Manger lunch every day, made up of a chicken Caesar and bacon baguette, a superfruit pot and a vitamin volcano smoothie,
He has denied her claims, saying "it's not actually true".
But she insisted: "I get it for him. I go to Pret. That’s how I know. It’s the Dom Raab Special."
