So the new PM is still shaping her new government administration, this time with her junior ministers. I don't really know what "junior" ministers actually do? I could Google it I suppose, but I suspect it's just another layer of ministerial bureaucracy.

It's kind of interesting that despite the massive cuts in the public sector and civil service, there still seems to be hundreds of peers, lords, dames, MPs and of course Ministers dictating to others how these cuts are necessary while not paying much attention to their own workforce budgets

https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...f-conservatism

Seems like May wants to introduce a form of Mayism, and move the party to the centre, trying to appeal to the lower-middle class/upper working classes; while at the same time trying to appease the "ordinary" working class with new policies over immigration and border controls - which in my way of thinking pushes the party out to the right!

Just like the shambles going on over across the Floor, both parties seem to be struggling for a new identity both to placate its respective MPs, ministers and grassroots activists;along with the voters and waiverers out there in the marginal constituencies.

I guess to most ordinary people May will be seen as just another Conservative - protecting the rich, the influential and the powerful, while chipping away at the poor and impoverished again and again.

Theresa May does not intend to trigger article 50 this year, court told | Politics | The Guardian

Those Brexit supporters hoping May would invoke Article 50 any time soon, will be disappointed to know this is unlikely to happen until 2017 at the earliest.

This is due to the various legal challenges by various bodies suggesting the Referendum is not legally binding, but only advisory.

As a consequence, until the challenges are ratified and judged, Article 50 will be delayed. And could in theory be dismissed completely should any of these challenges go against the Government.

So for the Bremainers, there is still some hope the Referendum vote will be quashed.

A very slim hope perhaps, but hope nonetheless.

As long as it does happen that's all that matters we knew it wouldn't be overnight and would take a year or 2 to sort out.

She's said " Brexit means Brexit " so that's good enough for me

But that's one of the things that is being challenged! Does she have the right to Invoke A50, or Parliament?

Well I'm not sure if honest.....

But that's one of her main slogans saying its final.... So based on that I'm guessing it's her choice...

Infact that's a good question my love!! Hopefully others can answer that
