Very astute of you Kid - we have a political jelly mould that spews out Prime Ministers on a production line. That way we get 2 for the price of 1 and also a cunning plan that allows us to deal with the EU with just a subtle change of lippy and handbag - simples!

I'm waiting for Leadsom to claim similar experience in one of her future 'revised CVs'.

Because the gender issue isn't a big deal? Whatever your politics in this country I doubt there's many people who think Theresa May isn't up to the job. She's no Hopey McChange leader, but she's a rock solid hand on the tiller. The bigger talking points will be her cabinet appointments, Justine Greening and Amber Rudd are likely to feature prominently. And Michael Gove will be cleaning the toilets.

All the insider minion chat here in Whitehall is that May is a no-nonsense alpha who will cut you off the second you mention something irrelevant to her, is extremely focussed and a tough negotiator on the EU councils. To have handled the poison chalice of the modern Home Office for over six years is unheard of. She needs to polish her media-facing style now she's the grand fromage but there is a general sigh of relief she's here instead of any of the swivel-eyed loons.

I'm a bit hurt you don't include the UK as well, Mr The Kid!

I mean the good ol' US of A and Germany are certainly two of the World's biggest players run by 'chicks' but the UK is no slouch. :wink:

All we need is Russia and China to be run by lasses and they'd become Little Mix.

More to the point, why are all those women wearing Donald Trump's hair?

It'll be quite interesting to see if/where she places Penny Mordaunt, currently Armed Forces Minister, but a reasonably prominent Leave campaigner.

You remind me of John Wayne's appearance in front of a load of students when Wayne was quite old.

Looking at his fine head of hair, one of them asked, "Hey John, is that hair real?"

Wayne - "Yeah, it's real.......it just ain't mine!".

In Trump's case it's probably genuinely his hair.....but it started out life around his balls!

Well I hope BoJo can at least spell his new post correctly, HH. :wink:

I hope he's going to pay his bar bills now, though!

Great to see Osborne skulking off to the back benches!

Thankfully Ken Clarke doesn't have a son in politics. You could have had May, Hammond and Clark's son running the country.

Seriously though, the slightly scary BoJo appointment aside, not bad appointments so far. I thought Chris Grayling may have got in for Home Sec, but glad that hasn't happened. Surprised at Liam Fox getting a seat at the table though, thought he may have been ousted, but I guess she needs pro-Brexiteers.

Jeremy Hunt will go surely? Justine Greening for Health?

And as EG says, glad to see the back of George Osborne.
