The New Cabinet

Justine Greening arrived. Reports that 1st Cabinet meeting will be held later.

Good grief! Liz Truss is the Justice Secretary.

Will she be called the Lady Chancellor?

Hunts gone again!!!

Justine Greening has education, apparently.

Do we know who the new Health Secretary is?

Dept of Transport to be closed. My DH works in it.

Nooooo, Hunt staying in health

Hunt staying at Health.

Why is the DoT closing?

Glad Theresa Villiers has gone. It seemed incomprehensible that she was a Brexiter and NI secretary who seemed to have no comprehension of the possible implications for Ireland.

I guess none of them wanted to take health over.
Doctors strike still on, then.

Hunt is staying, the BBC got it muddled.

"Why is the DoT closing?"

Maybe because it's not going anywhere! (I'll get my coat)

I think I read somewhere about rumours that there's going to be a new department for infrastructure, so maybe transport will be included (it makes sense).

Tegan 'sources' are saying new departments will be announced to manage infrastructure and industry and the DoT work will be under their umbrellas. Quite a bit of the DoT is under consideration for privatisation, so who knows what will happen? My DH's agency survived one privatisation attempt, not sure it will again.

From the Independent - a map of all the countries Boris has insulted!

He'll be wecome in Greenland and most of South America, then.

Anyone know who is DWP?

Stephen Crabb just resigned- I guess due to the flack he was getting due to his sexting young women story( he of the moralistic Christian persuasion ) it's one thrill a minute if you are interested in politics.

Stephen Crabb resigned.

Didn't know about the sexting. Just Googled it - what an idiot. You couldn't make it up.

Hmmm...I wonder where Grayling will go. DWP? Beware!

Doesn't matter, I do not suppose, as they all know about this and voted for it.
Therea May's speech made me think of Thatcher's where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Never noticed any of that when she was smashing the unions.
