Osbourne has jumped

Out of the government – obviously didn’t get the high-profile job he thought he deserved.
Don’t let the door, etc… 😀

BoJo is in No 10 currently finding out what he’ll be doing…..

Foreigh Sec ? 😆

bojo gets minister for truth!

bojo gets minister for truth Health! £350m coming from his own pocket.

nah bojo will get minister for brexit! he has to be held to account for something.

Osbourne and Cameron to sit on the back benches laughing in their sleeves at the front bench and then going back to their mansions.

Foreigh Sec ? apparently so! 😆 stbc mind, but that’s what the bbc just reported. 😆

Nothing wrong with Osbourne, nor Cameron for that matter.

LOL, Bojo *is* the Foreign Sec !!!

ATP, you’ve already done that joke….

…oh wait…

Love the Boris role – fantastic comedy moments in the offing.

FFS, Bojo as foreign sec?

Maggie May trolling the EU from day one then 😀

Oh, FFS

“Amber Rudd is the new home secretary”

Oh God,who will we be at war with first?

That’ll be Rudd’s reward for slagging of Leadsom.

To be fair, I don’t actually think this is a reward for Boris – he’s going to be setup to be the fall man. It’s a punishment.

Bojo in charge of relationships with our neighbours? It really is the rise of the Dark Side.

A new era of bringing civilisation to the savages 😈

So in that setup, bojo is Vader?

That is missing Boba Fett as home secretary and JarJar Binks as BoJo

“To be fair, I don’t actually think this is a reward for Boris – he’s going to be setup to be the fall man. It’s a punishment.”

Good point. I wonder if the task of announcing that disentangling ourselves from the EU isn’t feasible might fall to the FS.

+1

How is Foreign Secretey a “setup” Boris will have littoe to do with the Brexit discussions and will focus on World Trade and broader relationships.

Brexit Minister .. Chris Grayling is my call

Osbourne had to go after his conduct in the Referendum, the “punishment budget” was the last , zero credibility.

Can’t work out if Boris’ appointment is punishment for him or an admission that May doesn’t give a toss about integrity or the furious 48…….

How is Foreign Secretey a “setup” Boris will have littoe to do with the Brexit discussions and will focus on World Trade and broader relationships.

So the rest of the EU doesn’t have any foreign countries that we will have to talk to and develop policies towards independent of the Brexishambles?

Hehehe.. 🙂

Who gets to be the self inflicted recession chancellor?

Really ought to be an outer

Leadsome for sheer comedy out of her depth?

Where the **** is that little shite Gove gonna pop up

Hammond is Chancellor, was announced a while ago

Bit surprised Brexit has gone to David Davies – Chris Grayling ?

Fox to head new Ministry for International Trade

David Davies? Maybe May is trying to scupper Brexit after all

Fox, international trade, and we didn’t think our arms trade could get any less amoral!?!

Taxi for Hunt hopefully.

I’ve generally avoided the forum Brexit discussions but this has to be the nadir of failing to understand the massive task* ahead…

*aka avoiding the economy becoming FUBAR…

Oh you could not make this up, prepare for war economic, internal and actual – Theresa is going to look after YOU! whoever the **** you is…..

Blair and Cameron both loved to be seen to be making foreign policy themselves,Boris may have taken the ultimate spear-carriers role,I hope he doesn’t find it beyond him.

She’s giving Boris a chance to redeem himself by persuading everyone he hoodwinked last month that actually we might be better off in, he’ll do his best to do that as rescuing the situation is his only chance of regaining some credibility (in the political sense, not actual credibility obviously) and have a sniff of No.10 at any time in the future.

Or setting him up.If anything goes wrong with Brexit,Davies and Boris take the fall,if it goes well,long live Chairman May!

Not a bad set of real world experience in the cabinet so far:

Theresa May – Bank of England
David Davies – SAS
Phillip Hammond – Medical Devices
Michael Fallon – Set up a chain of nurseries
Liam Fox – NHS Doctor

It’s nice to see a cabinet that’s not rammed with lawyers / former BBC Journalists / people who’ve only ever done politics. Not quite sure where to place Boris though – Mayor, Buffoon or just biding his time until 2020.

Indeed Rob !

Boris, UK cheerleader 😉

Not quite sure where to place Boris though

Every court needs a jester…

Or minister for sport…

Given that Johnson is not actually Eurosceptic, it could be interesting. Maybe it’s an olive-branch to the rest of Europe, given that he’s not actually minister for Brexit, but I dunno.
