Mr Johnson revealed his sadness after hearing the news. He tweeted, “He served with nice detail in the Home Office and as Security Minister. If the government needed something done great, fast, and sensibly defined, James was the man to do it.”
He said that Mr Brokenshire cared for the interests of his Bexley constituents were high.
