She is only able to move this fast because she has not had to fight a leadership election properly in the Conservative party.

She has been put there only by 199 Conservative MPs out of 330,no one else.

So she should be moving fast,she has had no opposition to her whatsoever really.
That may be good for her but it's bad for democracy and the UK as a whole, who have had no say at all in this.

That appointment in my view is a big mistake, she should have thought and considered that position a good bit longer since he is what she came up with.
I agree, he has no place in the cabinet

Yes our PM actually does something all the President does is be the face of the USA and make speeches for the media for soundbites. I'm sure they sign some bills but that's it

The only good thing to come out of this entire mess is that that emotionless, scheming, sniffing, vacuum of a man's long-planned political aspirations are in tatters

That is actually more like rubbish from you actually, because now in UK elections, if a leader is not liked it is the party that suffers.
Tell yourself you talk rubbish, not others.

This was supposed to be at least a leadership election of MPs and Conservative party members, she said she did not want a coronation, yet accepted it all the same.
She is as bad as Gordon Brown was, now sitting there as PM with no mandate whatsoever of her own.
Just 199 Conservative MP's votes.

You support her all you like, I will more accept her when and if she gets a proper mandate.

Osborne is a loss, he'd have been well suited to the Trade role that Liam Fox has been appointed to. Don't rate Hammond much either - seems to have no real views or vision of his own but he'll toe the line I suppose. Boris as foreign secretary.. well god knows how that is going to go.

I actually agree with you on this, I would have used Osborne for all the contacts and good relations he has built up over his 6 years as Chancellor in some other role.
Such as the one you suggest.

I think this is a very short sighted move from her actually.
