EU’s Schulz slams new United Kingdom cabinet

May is Britain’s second female prime minister after the late Margaret Thatcher.

Mr Osborne, who riled colleagues with his stark warnings over the risks of Brexit before the vote, was replaced by Philip Hammond, previously the foreign minister.

Tony Turner, 49, North Curry “It will be tough for her with the Brexit plans, she now has to make new relationships in Europe, and I think that the politicians that campaigned to leave the European Union should have stuck around to see it through”.

Leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson said he was “humbled” having been named new foreign secretary, in one of Mrs May’s first cabinet appointments.

In the past, Johnson has said some very undiplomatic things.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama isn’t seeking an apology from Johnson.

“In his message to Theresa May, the President congratulated her on being appointed Prime Minister of Great Britain and underscored his belief that it is in the vital interests of both nations to preserve and expand the significant level of Russian-UK cooperation that has been achieved in various fields over the course of many years”, it added. They said that Britain and Brussels will have to move soon to address the consequences of the country’s vote to leave the bloc.

Within hours of taking office, May spoke with some European Union leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

“The prime minister explained that we would need some time to prepare for these negotiations and spoke of her hope that these could be conducted in a constructive and positive spirit”, the spokeswoman said. As May spoke in front of her new residence, a small band of pro-Brexit demonstrators down the street chanted “Theresa May, don’t delay!”

Gone were Cameron allies including ex-Treasury chief George Osborne, Cameron’s friend and neighbor and like him the product of an elite private school.

Mr Davis said the United Kingdom would not compromise on ending free movement and said the formal process of leaving should only begin after consultation with businesses, devolved administrations, trade unions, universities and research institutions.

At its first meeting since the referendum, the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee made a decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 0.50 per cent, although it signalled a possible cut in August.

Analysts said his understated style is likely to reassure investors given the volatility of the markets and fears of a recession sparked by the Brexit decision.

The Times said Britain was at a “turning point”, with its wealth, stability and identity all at stake.

“We can’t afford a long period of uncertainty”, he said. She still has to announce new secretaries of state for education, health, and work and pensions, among other posts.

May, the leader of the Conservative Party, has already named six cabinet members on her first day at 10 Downing Street, BBC News reported. “When it comes to opportunity, we won’t entrench the advantages of the fortunate few”.

She kept Michael Fallon as defence minister, while former energy minister Amber Rudd was promoted to May’s old interior minister job at the Home Office.

Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn now faces more than one challenger for his job as head of Labour Party with an announcement from MP Owen Smith.
