Love him or loath him it shows her political savey.

She gives a top job to someone who many in the Conservative party feel had been stabbed in the back. Tea and blue rinse brigade happy, he makes one mistake he,s toast.

He did a good job in London as Mayor so he may suprise a few.

Boris will do fine. 3 brexit campaigners in place for negotiations and Osbourne's been kicked into touch, so no more of his pessimism. Things are looking up:clap:
Yup and failure will destroy them and their names ... Nice manoeuvre.

I think he'll be fine, just based on the fact that I trust that the new PM knows more about politics and the right honourable minister for Uxbridge than us lot on here.

You really think that May would set the country up for failure just to prove a point?
I hope not but these guys are going to have to deliver ... They say we will be alright now it's their job to make it so. Time to find out if they are all mouth no trousers ...

Or it's keep your friends close and your enemies closer... His shins are going to get a kicking

Some very good choices in my opinion. I like Dave Davis and think he is exactly the right person to lead the Brexit team, he believes in the cause and is strong enough to stand our corner. I also like Liam Fox, he is an intelligent person and more than capable of seeking out potential markets around the World. Boris is not the Buffon many of those with limited vision believe he is, he is well educated, and a shrewd salesman of a cause, you just have to look how he trashed the likes of Cameron and Osborne in the Referendum, he did a damn good job as Mayor of London which most of the whinging Remainers couldn't hold a candle to. I'm pleased Osborne has fallen on his sword, he like Cameron destroyed his credibility during the referendum campaign and holds no confidence now.

More to come tomorrow but the ones of us that want our country to move on to better things will be full of hope and optimism, the others will still be sniping and adopting the typical sour grape attitudes that typify their 'Gollum' type despair at the loss of their 'Precious' EU

Strange how people see things differently. To my untrained eye, what May appears to have done is set up a trio of fall guys should Brexit either not happen, or God forbid, actually make things worse. She's provided a degree of separation between herself and the most (possibly) toxic situation happening in Britain right now.
Fox is a disaster waiting to happen. Boris is an international laughing stock, and Davis seems like a principled Politician who will fall on his own sword if he fails. She's played a blinder there.
