Episode description
Dominic Raab has been thrust into the key government role of Brexit secretary following the resignation David Davis.
The 44-year-old was tipped for high office from the moment he was elected to the safe Conservative seat of Esher and Walton in 2010.
His rise through the ministerial ranks has not been without controversy, with Theresa May accusing him of fuelling gender warfare by describing some feminists as "obnoxious bigots".
With just months to go to broker a deal with EU negotiators, not to mention steering Brexit through a divided Commons, the amateur boxer and karate black belt has got a real fight on his hands.
Presenter: Mark Coles Producers: Ben Crighton, Clare Spencer.
