PictureCameron's old Cabinet toast
Op-Ed: Wednesday the Cameron's vacated Number 10 Downing Street for rich pastures new although Cameron the old Etonian Bullingdon Club boy will remain in the House of Commons for now as a Tory backbencher.

Unelected Theresa May and her husband moved in as the Camerons left.

Such is life in politics at times.

One leaves by one door as one moves in by another.

May made a speech aimed at appealing to a wide variety of British people but remember her time in government during the Tory's time in office since 2010 speak more than hollow words crafted by a spin doctor.

David Cameron won the 2015 General election by a narrow margin on the promise of an EU referendum.

Now the referendum has played out and Cameron has resigned does Ms May really have a mandate to govern the country?

Such a pity that some self indulgent Labour MPs choose now to attempt a party leadership coup.

Ms May began forming her new Cabinet of Ministers after saying it would not simply be a reshuffle but a brand spanking new cabinet.

She was true to her word on that, up to a point.

But for those who oppose the Tories there has been some satisfaction learning that Chancellor George Osborne was sacked Wednesday evening and Thursday morning Education Minister Nicky Morgan was given her marching orders.

Wednesday Osborne tried to say he resigned but it did not take long for 'sources' to report the truth, he was sacked?

It appears that for all his words that he would leave the UK economy in good condition May did not agree.

There have been new appointments that look like payback such as Boris Johnson who bowed out of the leadership race and has been rewarded with a top job.

Michael Gove who took May on instead of Johnson has also got the boot.

At time of writing the state of play is:
  • Theresa May is the country's new Prime Minister
  • Boris Johnson is appointed Foreign Secretary
  • George Osborne sacked, replaced by Philip Hammond
  • David Davis is appointed Brexit Secretary
  • Amber Rudd is appointed Home Secretary
  • Michael Fallon will continue as Secretary of State for Defence
  • Liam Fox is to head a new department for international trade
  • Nicky Morgan is sacked as Education Secretary & Min for Women & Equalities
  • The new Cabinet will include more women than men
  • John Whittingdale is sacked as Culture secretary; Mr Whittingdale was in hot water months ago: "Whittingdale, BBC bias, scandals and reputations."
  • Michael Gove was sacked this morning as Justice Secretary; political pundits Wednesday wondered whether Chris Grayling would fill that role in the new Cabinet and many assessed he would be a disaster
  • Jeremy Hunt minister for Health lost his job this morning too along with Oliver Letwin reported the Express but hold that thought. According to the BBC's Laura Kuennsberg Hunt stays at Health!
  • Thursday's sackings are over the phone
  • Liz Truss tells the media camped out in Downing Street that she has got the job of Justice Secretary; we urge you to watch the footage at the end of this report!
We will update this report as more appointments, sackings and resignations are announced.

David Davis local MP for Haltemprice and Howden, has tried for Conservative Party leadership previously and failed and is a long standing BRexit supporter.

The rest have a great deal of baggage.

In 2010 and 2011 Dr Liam Fox was in hot water. BBC News in 2011 reported:

Defence Secretary Liam Fox has apologised over his working relationship with his former flatmate and best man Adam Werritty.

Mr Fox said it was "a mistake to allow distinctions to be blurred between my professional responsibilities and my personal loyalties to a friend".
Mr Werritty, who is not employed by the MoD nor has national security clearance, joined meetings with Mr Fox.

The prime minister has demanded answers on Monday.
The defence secretary, who is back in Britain following a trip to Libya, now faces an MoD inquiry into his working relationship with Mr Werritty.
Mr Fox has also been under pressure over revelations that Mr Werritty, 34, made regular visits to see him at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

BBC political editor Nick Robinson said a finding that Mr Fox had done anything wrong in terms of breaking the ministerial code would "end his career as defence secretary and end his time in the Cabinet".
Like so many others though Fox scuttled off to the backbenches and is now back in pole position.

Boris Johnson appears to have mass appeal but he is more than a bumbling buffoon.

During 2016 he first virtually stabbed David Cameron in the back by running with the BRexit campaign and then did the same to Michael Gove.

Boris knew exactly what he was aiming for.

Ms May presumably is following the old advice to keep her enemies close.

But Boris as Foreign Secretary takes the biscuit. Here are just a few Boris' stories:
  1. Boris Johnson West Bank cancellations
  2. Boris Johnson approves yet more unaffordable London homes
  3. Boris Johnson accused of Garden Bridge duplicity
  4. Theresa May pours cold water on Boris Johnson water cannon plan
  5. UK EU referendum, let the mind manipulation begin
  6. Boris Johnson part Kenyan description of Obama stinks
  7. London Mayor Boris being sued over ban of anti gay advert
  8. Boris Johnson denies corruption allegations
  9. London Mayor Boris being sued over ban of anti gay advert
  10. Boris Johnson fails IQ test after slamming the poor
Still Ms May has also made the news for the wrong reasons at times.

In June 2016 we reported "Against recommendations Theresa May pushes for more surveillance."

On social media last night Junior Doctors who have been fighting against the implementation of new working contracts were tweeting hopes that Jeremy Hunt Minister for health would be toast. Will he?

    British political scene

    The next General Election in the UK may not be scheduled any time soon but the British political landscape is changing. With that in mind this blog will concentrate on the political scene but with a left wing perspective. Opinion pieces and news will bring you the stories that the MSM prefer to ignore.

    The writer, Eileen Kersey, is a lifelong Labour Party supporter and voter but fairly recent party member.
