New cabinet

Philip Hammond looks the first to have been moved from the foreign office to Chancellor.

And lol of all lols, Boris has just walked into Downing Street. Big job for BoJo.

If he gets head of Brexit I will absolutely crease up.

Sorry, didn't realise this was being discussed in the brexit thread, although it's a completely separate issue from brexit.

Boris

Farage anyone?

Azza · 13 Jul 2016 at 19:23

May... Hammond... now we just need Clarkson.

robfosters · 13 Jul 2016 at 19:26

OK, I'll post in this one then lol.

Any ways, bit disappointed to see Amber Rudd is probably foreign secretary. She is far too combative for that role and I think is way too pro EU for it.

Bye bye George. You won't be missed.

Boris to become deputy leader and given the remit of leading the brexit task force?

Resisted the obvious urge to hike fuel duty for his entire tenure. I doubt we'll see that again.

This might be an incredibly retarded question, but what qualifies someone to become Chancellor of the Exchequer (I know they're actually 'picked'). Hammond has in the past been the Transport Minister- surely he can't have trained all his life to be an expert at both transportation and the economy?

They reckon foreign secretary now.

Boris Johnson is foreign secretary.

What a legend.

Bar · 13 Jul 2016 at 19:48

So BoJo as foreign secretary

2 - 3 weeks crash course and they're qualified.
