So, any ideas on how a May cabinet will look like? I suppose she will promote Leadsom, but that won't be hard since Leadsom was the deputy energy secretary lol.

Leadsom made it to the run-off for the leadership election so she has a decent amount of support among the brexit MP's. May probably won't give her a very important job, but I don't think she is going to let the main brexit leadership candidate stay a junior minister.

Does anyone else think the reason Boris Johnson didn't stand was deal between him and May to get a top cabinet position like Chancellor?

No- Boris lost because he didn't have enough MP's to get through to the last round. The tory leadership race is suited to these games, and always has produced strange results.

May hates Johnson; who's not suited to be in the cabinet in a major role (he'll take something like Culture)

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Culture was what Johnson was shadow minister for way back when, wasn't it?

No. May and Johnson have had a very rocky relationship, going back to the London riots.

Boris is also a lazy tosser, May doesn't seem to like that.

My Predictions (I've ripped it off from what I've read/been briefed, and what would be logical)

Chancellor- Phillip Hammond
Foreign Sec- Justine Greening
Home- Amber Rudd
Defence- Michael Fallon
Justice- Dominic Grieve
Education- Nicky Morgan
Business- Pritti Patel
Health- Damian Green
Environment- Leadsom
Transport- Sajid Javid
Work and Pensions- Jeremy Hunt

Putting Hunt on W&P might quell those junior doctors as he's been a toss in negotiations. Surprisingly Boris is at number 10 now...
Fallon is possibly the dullest English man alive

Just when you thought the UK's relationship to the rest of the world couldn't possibly get any worse.

Not a fan of Johnson, but to be fair to him he's not exactly Nigel Farage.

Doesn't everybody who has worked with him find him insufferable?

Fox will head an international trade department. Sounds logical since the UK will need to make their own trade deals now the UK is leaving the EU.
