Theresa May holds her first cabinet meeting as British Prime Minister

Theresa May has warned her Cabinet that the country must not be 'defined by Brexit amid signs of a turf war between minister.

Holding the first meeting of her top team, the new Prime Minister urged them to work collectively to ensure quitting the EU is a success.

She argued that the opportunities offered by leaving the European Union could give the country better education and skills, and improve social mobility.

But there are already rumours of clashes between senior figures, with Boris Johnson's Foreign Office said to be resisting efforts by David Davis's newly-created Brexit department to poach high-flying staff.
