Add to my shortlistIn Detail
Philip is one of only three people to serve continuously in the UK cabinet (2010-2019), serving under Prime Ministers David Cameron and Theresa May. He took over the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer soon after the 2016 Brexit Referendum at a time of unprecedented uncertainty for the economy. He is strongly of the view that the best way to deliver the referendum result would be through negotiating a deal with the European Union and the UK that keeps the two close economically. Philip has considerable experience of working with China, and clear views about how to manage the integration of China as a major economic and strategic power into the global system. He also retains a close interest in the strategic challenges facing the Western Alliance.
