    I suspect that if one is patriotic and proud of one's country it is second nature to call self governance a benefit.

    Ellers, you're acting like a tool. You don't have any argument against the points I made earlier, so you're twatting about trying to be all 'clever'. As if you've got the first idea of what an Analyst actually does. You seem to think it means I can see the future with unerring accuracy. If that's what you want to believe, then I doubt actually pointing you to a definition of the job would make any difference to you.

    Same with the Leave Campaigners all disappearing. Just because someone runs away when it gets a little difficult for them, doesn't stop them coming running back when offered a plum job. That's all that has happened. And it does not negate what I said before. Which you know, but I wouldn't expect you to admit, because that would prevent you having your little bit of fun. Well done, you clearly think that you deserve it. The rest of us will look on the developing situation with interest whilst you fool around trying to make yourself look big on an internet site. I guess that's the best place for you to do so...

    Again, no actual debate, just a little keyboard warrior, trying to score points. Keep going mate, I can handle it....

    Or you could actually discuss the issues, although I appreciate that's harder for you than childish little remarks.

    Back on topic, however, for those so inclined...

    The mix of Leave and Remain campaigners announced so far indicates that Theresa May is true to her word, and is looking to bring unity to the party by ensuring her cabinet contains people from both sides of the debate. This is clearly part of her thinking, and she has moved quickly to make such a statement.

    I'm afraid Chaz doesn't know how to debate. It's always the same with him and the best thing is to ignore his ridiculous ramblings.

    Must be.
    I like May, but I would have liked Gove to be FS and Boris as Home Secretary.

    Boris will really have to up his game as FS.

    Chaz i am not a keyboard warrior and once again you are coming across as a pretentious muppet.
    Virtually every time i have posted something you are hot on my heels dismissing it. Yet when i pull you up on something you don't like it. I gave some honest argument using real people as examples only for you to dismiss it. You knock people who brexit implying that they don't know what they are doing. You moan saying breixter's have nothing to offer other than saying Remainer's are 'doom and gloom' yet all you can do is give a few posts offering nothing other than pessimism. posts that come straight out of the Dummies guide to business book.
    You claim to do this as a job? bloody hell i hope you never forecast anything!
    But the thing that sticks out most in your posts, is the lack of optimism. Even the most staunch remainer's have something to offer whereas you are simply doom and gloom. Or should i say project fear.

    He has around 80 MP's that like him so TM needs to keep him happy. I am awaiting the arrival of Andrea Leadsom to get something.

    The rest of the world must already think we've lost our collective marbles - now we're going to have bumbling Boris representing us overseas.

    What a ****ing joke.

    If something causes concern, to simply ignore it is stupid. I've been very clear about what I see and what people tell me, yet you dismiss this as 'doom and gloom' and then have the nerve to accuse me of that? Pot and kettle springs to mind.

    If you don't want to actually engage with the very real issues and concerns people have, then fine. Don't have a go at those of us who do.

    Make him Health secretary in charge of the extra 350 million, not a serious job.

    Right Boris, first job ensure the special relationship with the U.S. is ok. You remember president Obama, the one you called an uppity Kenyan, yeah him ...

    David David as Brexit Minister is a good shout. I've always like Davis, but feel he went into a decade-long sulk on the back benches shortly after losing out in the leadership contest to Cameron, despite a short stint as a shadow minister. He nevertheless strikes me as a very capable individual for the task at hand.

    Opening the book on Boris being sacked or resigning within two years. Let's hope he doesn't embarrass the country too much first. Giving him one of the great offices of state when he has never even sat in a policy deciding cabinet is nuts. Davies will hold the key foreign policy reins anyway over Brexit. He's a decent appointment and apparently Hammond did a lot of the heavy lifting for Osborne when he was Treasury Secretary. Don't get me started on 'Dr' Liam Fox.

    I didn't hear all of May's big speech to the press in Downing Street. Big on social justice, 'have's vs have not's' I got. Any mention of immigration or the future relationship with the EU?
