Our new Prime Minister Theresa May, and her cabinet...

[The Clamp]

She is clearly making the statement that 'Brexit means Brexit' by appointing the Three Brexiteers to the three main brexit posts. She is not 'up to something', just doing what she said she would do.

We'll see.

The three Brexiteers and Osborne sacked whats there not to like.

So ignoring the fact that for many years he represented a multicultural London, with high approval ratings and good results.... marketing London across the world.

Boris is a diplomatic incident due to a gaffe waiting to happen, imo. He's simply bound to say something stupid again - he has form. His "Boris is a lovable buffoon" schtick can play ok to many in the UK, but he'll not receive such a forgiving audience abroad, where equally powerful politicians as he will be seeking an excuse to make political capital. I think he'll have to resign over some scandal before the 2020 GE.

It's a pretty high risk appointment, imo.

I wonder what she has in store for Grayling? Is there always a deputy PM?

If May is not up to anything and Boris is a genuine post then anyne who believes his appointment as Foreign Secretary is a good idea, whatever your position on Brexit, is a total moron.

Look at the failure of BHS: do you really think a low rate of corporation tax would have saved the company and employees' jobs or would it have shovelled more into off-shore tax havens?

well i know that high corporation tax wouldn't help them, and a lower tax mean less incentive to shovel anything into off-shore tax havens. the problems you highlight are not dependent on corporation tax either way.

the point i'm making is that its standard economic theory that corporation taxes lower investment (why invest here at high tax, when there is low tax?) and the case is usually made for it having a negative impact on employment and salaries (lowers RoI, so other areas of cost are reduced to compensate). we like to tax companies because they have big fat pots of profit easy to tax, and it seems right that they contribute (though apparently not if they dont make a profit), however its not without consequence.

Whats quite funny is London voted twice to keep him as Mayor of London yet majority of Londoners voted remain. So he must have something to offer.

Michael Gove... SACKED.

Couldn't really see him working with Boris in the cabinet.... brutal.

Part of the Masterplan? BJ screws up. Reurns to the Backbenches. No longer able to snipe at TM as he was the architect of his own downfall.

Probably a load of old tosh but Foreign Secretary is the last job one would have expected BJ to land. It needs SOME diplomacy.

and it sound like Nicky Morgan will be going from Education as well.

The is a total clear out. Impressive work by Mrs May.

He really didn't think this though did he? and Boris is the moron.

I know. I'm likely clutching at straws with my theory, but one lives in hope!

So May is a total moron then. She's done quite well for a moron.

Silver linings & all that.

Can't say I'm disappointed to learn my taxes won't be funding a Cabinet Minister's salary for Gove any more. He'll just have to live on a meagre bog standard backbencher's salary instead. Mind you, it must be about time they voted themselves another pay rise of course.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Good to see May's had Nicky Morgan taken out and shot.

Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has been SACKED as well.

Gove going will reduce the direct inside info available to the press - assuming Boris has to give up his column of course.

Any news on "rhyming slang" at Health?

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Letwin has been SACKED
