    Tributes to David Cameron at final Prime Minister's Questions



    Published on 13 Jul 2016

    David Cameron has been given a standing ovation by MPs after his final Prime Minister's Questions.
    The prime minister told MPs he would "miss the roar of the crowd" and said there had been many
    "amazing moments" during his six years in power.

    Is Theresa May the UK's Merkel?

    By Damien McGuinness
    BBC News, Berlin

    3 hours ago



    German media have greeted the arrival of the UK's new Prime Minister Theresa May with
    headlines such as "England's Angela Merkel", "May is Britain's Merkel," or simply "The British Merkel".

    But does the new British PM really have much in common with Europe's most powerful leader?

    Boris Johnson made foreign secretary by Theresa May
    7 minutes ago




    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36789972

    New Prime Minister Theresa May has made Boris Johnson, the former London
    mayor who led the Brexit campaign, foreign secretary in her new government.

    He replaces Philip Hammond, who becomes chancellor. Ex-Energy Secretary
    Amber Rudd has been appointed home secretary.

    No 10 said ex-Chancellor George Osborne had resigned from the government.

    On arriving at Downing Street, Mrs May vowed to lead a "one nation" government
    that works for all not just the "privileged few".

    It might turn out to be a stroke of genius , when Boris turns up anything can happen !!!




    Boris is a sort of real life Benny Hill character from the 1980's....

    Only he can get away with the numerous political correctness
    cock ups he has managed in his career so far and still get a
    top job. He must have something ??

    If the Donald becomes President the UK should get a pretty good quick deal
    over the pond at least. After all Boris is a New Yorker where he was born
    and was/is ? a US citizen......I suppose if all else fails over here he could
    run for President in 2020 ???

    Who, What, Why: Could Boris Johnson be UK PM and then US president?

    Magazine Monitor

    Boris Johnson has renewed his US passport. It might seem fanciful but could he
    possibly become UK prime minister and then US president, asks Tom de Castella.
    Boris Johnson renewed his US passport in November 2012, the London Mayor's
    aides have confirmed. The news came as a surprise to some. In a column for the
    Spectator in 2006 he said he was renouncing his US citizenship after being barred
    from using his British passport to change planes in Texas. But it appears he didn't
    follow through.

    Campaigners Call for End to 'Failed Corporate Coup' TTIP After Brexit

    By David on 14 July 2016 GMT



    ‘Campaign group Global Justice Now has told Sputnik that, since the result of the
    British referendum on its EU membership, precipitating Brexit, the controversial
    Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks should be halted.

    The latest round of negotiations to create the biggest trade deal in the world
    between the European Union and the United States began Monday (July 11) for the
    first time since the UK signaled it would be leaving the EU, with Brexit top of the agenda.

    “The TTIP negotiations were already on pretty shaky ground before the EU
    referendum, and now the shockwaves of Brexit are threatening to derail the deal
    entirely. With senior political figures from France and Italy signaling that the deal is
    dead in the water, surely Celia Malmström [European Trade Commissioner] should
    call time on this failed corporate coup.’

    Boris Johnson: How Britain's new foreign secretary has insulted the world

    5 hours ago



    Boris isn't quite this affectionate with Trump: he has accused him of "stupefying ignorance"

    In case you have just emerged from a desert island or a long sleep: the UK has a new
    prime minister, Theresa May, who in turn has appointed a new foreign secretary.
    The man who will be representing Britain's interests abroad is Boris Johnson. Yes, that
    Boris Johnson, the tousle-haired, barrel-bellied engineer of the UK's exit from the EU.
    It's an appointment that's been treated with some shock around the world - not least
    because he has been less than diplomatic about other countries and their leaders before.
    Some of his positions, often outlined in his newspaper columns, also risk clashing with
    his own government's official stance.

    Did Rupert Murdoch Choose Britain’s New Prime Minister?

    By David on 15 July 2016 GMT



    Did Rupert Murdoch Choose Britain’s New Prime Minister?

    Robert Mackey
    July 12 2016, 1:57 p.m.

    ‘When Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Monday that he would be moving
    out of 10 Downing Street quite a bit sooner than planned, not in September, but on
    Wednesday — leaving the house, the office, and the cat to his successor, Theresa May
    — the abrupt end to his lame duck tenure seemed like a weight off his shoulders. And
    indeed Cameron was overheard humming a jaunty tune as he made his own personal
    Brexit, stage left.

    But the backroom process through which the British Conservative Party had suddenly
    chosen May as its new leader, and hence prime minister — cutting short a campaign
    that was supposed to take two months and end with more than 120,000 members of
    the party’s grassroots getting to vote either for her or her rival, Andrea Leadsom —
    left many troubling questions unresolved.’

    US official breaks out in a wide grin at the news that Boris is now Foreign Minister



    Published on 14 Jul 2016

    US State Department Official Mark Toner, seems to quickly conceal a huge grin which broke out
    briefly when he was told that Boris Johnson is now the new Foreign Secretary. Boris, Oxford educated,
    urbane, widely travelled and clearly enthusiastic fan and salesman of the British Brand is also seen as
    gaffe prone, irreverent and more of a big picture guy than a detail oriented diplomat.

    He is also a US citizen by birth in New York....
