Very happy to see Osborne go :D

Well, y'know, aren't we all.

Feck me, she's made Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary. I suppose it keeps him out of the country as often as possible. As a tweet that just got posted put it 'Now let me think, what high-profile cabinet job can someone cock up in but ruin only their own career, not their party's electoral chances?'

David Davis is to head the 'Brexit Department', Liam Fox get International Trade, which will be a nice way for him to line his pock*cough*.. Otherwise Amber Rudd is Home secretary and Michael Fallon is Defence secretary

Fallon retains the same post as in the previous cabinet. Presumably because he's so much of an idiot they don't think he'll be able to find his new office if they move him. Rudd however has seemed vaguely competent, so I live in hope. Feck me again, she was married to A.A. Gill. I never knew that.

Although.. why is it whenever I google the name of any female UK politician, one of the alternative image searches is 'Esther McVey in leather'? And don't say search history because I damn well never searched for that, can't stand the woman.

I've seen the McVey thing too!

Good choices as they go.

We don’t know that, yet. It seems that various sources say differing things - so at the moment he IS and ISN’T the Health Secretary simultaneously.

Edit: Reamins as Health Secretary, according to BBC.

Oh wtf?!?!? Everyone said he was sacked. Have they reinstated him? Or was the job supposed to go to someone else but nobody wanted it? No doubt he is going to continue to push his agenda.

It looks like Andrea Leadsom was going for at least double whammy in the interview that sunk her prospects of being PM:
Andrea Leadsom says it's 'sensible' not to hire male nannies because they might be paedophiles

It's impressive to have already had the 'absolute confidence' of your new leader just a few days into the job.

They're not exactly setting out what this has to do with May in real terms.
