This is a hard-line Cabinet for sure.
Near the last thing the Country needs.

It’ll only get worse, wait until he gives Walter Reece-Mogg a job

Yes, it's nowhere near an inclusive Cabinet at all.
All rewarding his harder line supporters it seems.

It will please the majority of Conservative party members, and the more hardline Conservative voters.

Not hopefully though the voters he needs from Labour or Lib Dems.

He is rewarding his backers, excluding everyone else.

Won't end well.

I agree.
This doesn't appear a Cabinet that will unite the Conservative party never mind the voters.

One saving grace, he hasn't so far included the awful Esther McVey.

I think it's a mistake he hasn't secured Hunt in the Cabinet.
There's now a strong group of inwardly dissatisfied ex Cabinet Ministers on his backbenches.

If he loses Brecon and the MP now charged with sexual offences.
He may regret making this opportunity he has to just run a more extreme hard-line ship.

[joeysteele]

I'm expecting more now than before some more defections.
Johnson can't afford to have any.

[Beso]

He has picked the perfect minds and obedient subservants he needs to get us out by the date he said..I will judge him after that date..

When the newly ‘elected’ PM appoints a bunch of homophobes from the 1820’s to his cabinet, yes I am, it doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that my kind are going to be treated well for however long this ****show lasts.

Boris yesterday outed “the doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters”

Boris speaks of possibility and if you are ever to make progress, to go forward and achieve success in life you need to be optimistic. Ronald Reagan had that in spades and was roundly attacked by the same type of people having a go today on twitter and the rest yet he transformed the US economy...

He has delivered a strong message of extremes and intolerance in these Cabinet appointments for sure Liam.

Thankfully his majority will likely be eroded soon.
Of course there's still the dinosaur DUP lining up as ever to help him.

I think your concerns will be shared by millions across the Country.
With some of the most archaic held views now around the Cabinet table.
Courtesy of Johnson.

You cannot claim to be going to govern for the whole Nation.
Then select a near fully one sided Cabinet on just one issue.

The views of some of the people He's judged to be worthy of being in Cabinet, hold some of the most archaic and divisive views possible.

His Cabinet represents almost wholly only one side of even just the brexit debate.
That will never likely unite but rather fuel the divisions existing even more.

[joeysteele]

Esther McVey given a job too.

This is likely to the Country, Parliament as a whole and even within a good number of the Conservative parliamentary party too.
To be seen as only the most divisive possible.

All he has done is bring together some of the most hard liners as to views on brexit.

That will probably alienate the more open of brexit voters and all who voted remain.

It really is sickening to see the government surviving too thanks to the still mostly sectarian bigoted DUP.

Whatever his words on wanting to govern for the whole of the UK.
His Cabinet says the direct opposite.

With extreme appointments near across the board.

This is an awful Cabinet overall.
Way too extreme and hard line.
Priti Patel as Home secretary, really just about the last person who should be so.
