Agreed - and it's quite refreshing to have a former grammar school pupil in the top job instead of a former public schoolboy.

Is Gove out? AFAIK he's still the Justice Secretary for now.

No sorry I was talking total rubbish - apologies.

I'm not liking the sound of this cabinet....

Really don't know what to make of these choices so far - glad Gove is out.

Edit - he's not.

Also agreed. Although I voted to leave and Maggie May was for remain (at least she made out to be....), I think she is going to make an excellent PM. Hearing her speak today was very refreshing.

Good that Osbourne has gone, I wish May all the best, she's a smart cookie and I hope she does a great job which I have no doubt she will do.

It is the stuff of nightmares for remainers.

New Brexit minister's thoughts on Brexit as of two days ago: http://www.conservativehome.com/pla...0-a-brexit-economic-strategy-for-britain.html

Summary:

- Trade deals with non-EU countries can and will be done quickly;
- Tax and red-tape cuts;
- Maintain existing protections for workers;
- Article 50 "probably" to be triggered in December this year.

I'm liking what I read in that article.

DAVIES

JOHNSON

Hammond seems a very little lightweight appointment for Chancellor? But thank goodness that Osborne's baleful influence on the UK economy is finally over.

Can see the headlines for next May.

Bit of a double edged sword, if brexit turns out to be drawn out, problematic, & down right painful, there can be no excuses what so ever as the brexiters will have been in charge of the whole process right from the very start.

Hopefully Hunt is next out of the door

I reckon he will be otherwise he would have got a place by now.

Boris as foreign secretary, dear me.

Newbfail · 13 Jul 2016 at 21:01

Hope door doesn't hit Osborne on the way out.

Uther · 13 Jul 2016 at 21:02

Very happy to see Osbourne gone.
Very surprised to see Johnson in. Looking ok to me so far, the next few months will be interesting, especially given the speech May gave outside number 10...

Bojo Didn't look too thrilled though coming out of 10 Downing Street

He's looked a bit miserable ever since he won! Then again, he was probably expecting to be PM by now.

Newbfail · 13 Jul 2016 at 21:08

Lots has come out in the wash about him lately, apparently lazy and lives off others hard work, interesting times!

Amber Rudd is Home Secretary. Unbelievable...of everyone I watched through the referendum debates, nobody was as vile and repugnant in their attitudes and behaviour as Amber Rudd. Disgusted that she has been rewarded with such a position.
