You think it's a good thing that a man who co-authored a book on how the Conservative's ambition should be to denationalise the NHS, has been reappointed as Health Secretary?

This has undone the Osborne cull to be honest

That's always been a pretty misleading claim. The book was written 11 years ago primarily by Douglas Carswell which 22 other Conservatives contributed to. The whole book was only 100 pages with the part on the NHS only 7 pages and he has said that he did not have any involvement in that section. It was a small, irrelevant pamphlet which floated a few ideas around but thats it.

I know he's claimed he didn't have any involvement in that section, but you're really willing to believe a liar and a man of such proven incompetence?

He's kept this job so he can continue to deliberately undermine the NHS so that in the end it will be easier to garner more public support for creeping privatisation to make it more 'efficient'.

Agreed, I don't know how a conservative could get more sinister in it's approach...but it has

Sad how trolling has crossed over into politics as well.

Crabb out at least.

that creep Crabbe has gone due to being exposed as a cheat

Surprised considering how highly he was regarded and given that he dropped out the leadership race to support her but then I've been surprised by pretty much every decision so far

Edit - ah he's resigned not sacked as I first thought, that makes more sense

The Washington Post publishes a round-up of "undiplomatic" things Mr Johnson has said during his time in public life.

"To be sure, Johnson is an unusual candidate for the job. The former journalist is known for his deliberately provocative manner, ruffled appearance and penchant for sometimes-insulting commentary," it says.

It reminds its readers that just two months ago, "a poem he concocted about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan having sexual congress with a goat won the first-place prize in a contest sponsored by Spectator magazine."

This is going to be entertaining

As if she kept hunt :/

[joeysteele]

Very disappointing that Jeremy Hunt has remained health secretary, she has I fear opened up her first major confrontational issue as to him and the Junior Doctors.

Then again, she brought great controversy to her dealings with the Police and other important services,so maybe this is one she wants to support him on.
A big mistake that in my view.

I am dismayed at Stephen Crabb leaving Works and Pensions,he had begun to seemingly bring some hope back for better treatment of the sick, disabled and most vulnerable, that to me is likely out the window now with Damien Green.

Obviously give her a chance but the change of names in Departments and the ones that have stayed such as Hunt, just looks like a hardline start to her premiership, with any real and genuine hopes of uniting the UK out the window as to the major appointments.

Crabbe is a disgusting lying pseudo Christian hypocrite who cannot even tell the truth to his own wife so why you want him running anything is frankly astounding

I judge people on what I see of them,I do not know him so can judge at this time only what he has done as a Minister, and he has not made any attempt at all to discredit or seemingly punish any further people who are sick,disabled and most vulnerable.
Not a bit since taking on the position after Ian Duncan Smith, who did in reality punish people for daring to be ill, disabled and vulnerable.

If anything is proven against him then maybe I will alter my thinking of him but all I have seen him do is try to help more and allay the fears of same, as to the sick and disabled.
That after the heartlessness of Ian Duncan Smith is and will remain to his credit in my view.
After over 5 years of the sick and disabled being demonized,discriminated against and used to save pittances,if there ever were any real savings in the end.

However who she has replaced Crabb with gives me concern again for those groups of people.
