Done with the Brexit stuff now, people will be delighted to know.

What Theresa May is doing is fascinating. Huge clear out of the 'Notting Hill' clique, and nothing short of a substantial reform of government.

He has a history of being careless with his words. Not ideal for our foremost international diplomat.

Hopefully the civil servants in the FCO will keep him in order.

Does this mean a comeback for IDS?

Re: [Updated] Theresa May set to become PM
 

Hell no ids is the last thing the welfare system needs and he'd be the polar opposite of what may has talked about as I doubt she was taken in by his resignation over too much cutting of disability benefits.
