Theresa May became Britain’s new Prime
Minister yesterday after the exit of David
Cameron and one of her first tasks is picking a
new cabinet.
Appointing a new cabinet means she also had to
let go of a number of high-profile politicians to
make way for new ones.
Among those axed were Michael Gove, former
Justice Secretary, Nicky Morgan, the Education
Secretary, John Whittingdale, the Culture
Secretary, and Oliver Letwin the Cabinet Office
Minister.
May is also aiming to adding more women to
powerful positions within the British cabinet with
Liz Truss, previously the Environment Secretary,
emerging from No. 10 Downing Street to
announce she had been appointed Justice
Secretary and Lord Chancellor. She is the first
woman in both distinguished positions.
What made the biggest splash though was her
appointment of Boris Johnson, the most
prominent face of the ‘Leave’ campaign, as
Foreign Secretary.
People have reacted to this in various ways, while
some believe it’s a good move bringing someone
from the opposing side to work for the best,
others feel it is a bad idea having the biggest
antagonist of the ‘Remain’ campaign working
with the new cabinet.
Theresa May herself voted ‘Remain’ in the
referendum.
New appointments are imminent and would be
revealed soon.

She hit the ground running, unlike what we have here.

What the UK needs right now is another Margaret Thatcher to help them weather the storm and reposition their economy.

Will she be another Thatcher? Only time will tell.
