Only two left now. I wonder if the bookies give good odds on the next prime minister being a woman...

I would have thought that was pretty much a certainty from the get-go .. there had to be a 'leave' backer, and there had to be Ms May, and most of the 'leave backers' were untenable for one reason or another.
Personally I think Ms May will walk it, but I could be surprised (again).

My 'concern' is that the vote leave mailing list and / or deep pockets of the other leave campaign backer (Andrew something?) may tilt things. I don't have a vote but did have a preference from the 5 possibilities.

It's now become very clear that Brexit was just a cover, a distraction from the real plan.
The next PM will be a woman. Hillary will take the White House. Women are taking control. In a couple of months men will all be forced to wear gimp suits.
I'd like to go on the record early as a supporter of this. Please don't hurt me!

BOJO - or BBB as I prefer to think of him - appointed as Foreign Secretary: Is it just me that gets the feeling that May is playing out some form of cruel joke, at the expense of one or other or both of BOJO himself and our European neighbours ?
For what it's worth, I had him down to be pulled in to playing a major or indeed the lead role in a 'Brexit Unit', which this kind of is but with more bells and whistles.
EDIT: ooh, David Davies appointed as the aforementioned head of 'Brexit Unit': and only we could create a role of Secretry of State for Brexit.
So May is serious when she says 'out is out'. Either that, or she's lining up the chief Leave protoganists to be seen to have responsibility to go and get the deal they were promising (each promising a different one of course), and if they come back with a totally unpalatable dog's breakfast no one can say it was because she didn't have 'true believers' fighting the cause.
Has any position for Gove been announced yet ? And if so is it above ground or 6 feet under ? Would be a touch ironic if the pieces land with BOJO as FS and Gove on the back benches.

Given Fox's new post as International Trade and a head of Brexit, not sure how much there is left for BoJo to do?! Potentially a shrewd move, the appearance of a leading role while keep actual influence away from him...

might Gove be offerred a major demotion with a role as a "policy wonk" working for DD, and if he was, would he accept it ?
