May is awful but appears to be Murdoch's choice, disgraceful treatment of Leadsom who hasn't got the heart of Corbyn, maybe she has more skeletons she wants hidden but it is not good for democracy.
May will benefit from the dead cat bounce effect but when nearly 60% of Tories voted out there s a lot of unhappiness in their  party

She saying all the right things at the minute but actions speak louder than words, if she tries to water down the Brexit negotiations her career will be short lived.

More sat on the fence saying remain but not saying much more

We voted 'Leave' so where's the sodding logic in voting on two candidates who were both Bremainers at heart? We're going to be landed with a leader that nobody but the Tory ponce's want
It's just ridiculous I don't expect much progress to come out of either one of them at all

May was a woman who said several months ago that Britain will benefit under Sharia Law
Listening to May speak I like her a lot.Comes across as forthright

With reference to Sharia law I can understand  peoples concerns but when you look at Islam as a whole its  generally a good thing.Submission to God and following the good way.

Amazingly enough, some of May's policy aims as stated in her 'launch' are very sensible - you could almost say progressive, even, and some of the economics of more left-wing than most of the Blarite stuff!

It sounds as though Osbornomics will be quickly out of the door, though not before it has caused appalling damage to our economy. Looks as though she hasn't ruled out PQE (one of Corbyn's suggested policies) and is serious about setting up a National Infrastructure fund of some sort which has been desperately needed in this country for decades. Borrowing costs are currently so low that they are effectively negative so it is idiotic that we've been actively cutting back on investment in the current climate. Thanks Gideon.

The question is, firstly, whether she's actually sincere about implementing these policies and secondly, if the City will continue to fund the Tories if she does. The City are doing very well, thanks very much, from the status quo as money is transferred ever upwards under current policies and I don't think they would take too well to having the government teat dry up. Wouldn't surprise me if she was ousted during the next couple of years by a 'backbench revolt' if she does attempt to actually get things done. Most Tories know which side their bread is buttered on...

So Camoron's tenure as PM comes to an end. Good riddance!

One of his avowed aims while in Nr 10 was to fix 'Broken Britain'  - got to say Dave, you smashed it

And what have we got to look forward to in place of Dodgy....months and months of Mayhem

What a terrible state of affairs

Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary? What's that all about then? The cynic in me thinks May has given him the job to provide rope with which to hang himself. Let's hope he doesn't inadvertently start any wars in doing so.

Good to see that the incomparibly incompetent Osborne has finally been given the heave-ho. Leaving the economy in the crapper, for certain, so it's going to be a tough job for his replacement.

Now it will be interesting to see how much of May's rhetoric from the other day is followed up by action.

Well at least Osbourne's replacement is qualified for the job so I guess that's a good start.

Hammond has a reputation of being dull, yet generally competent. We'll have to see if this proves to be the case or not. I think he has some interesting times ahead of him, to say the least. Very much a case of ding dong the witch is dead with Osborne's departure.

Judging by May's 'manifesto' of sorts the other day, the government under her control is going to be dragged back towards LibDem-level centralism. Amazing to see after all the years watching economic policy getting dragged ever towards the barmy far right-wing territory.

This is providing she carries through with it, of course.
