I Feel Quite Hopeful Now

Good speech from Theresa. I do hope she is able to fulfil her ideals, and wish her every success.

I wouldn't get too carried away:
'Where there is discord may me bring harmony' quoted Margaret Thatcher in 1979. Two years later we had riots across the country, a year later the Falklands War, then 2 years after that the miners strike and the Brighton Bombing
Not all her fault of course, but not sure 'harmony' was her big thing
Just as I think Theresa May, splendid lady tho she may be, is simply not about to u it's the country. She can't : she'll either split the uk or revive the wrath of what Matthew Parris called the swivel eyed Brexiters, and all this Brexit stuff one was or another is going to consume the energies of the government to the extent that we are not going - or are unlikely to see - any great progress to doing anything positive antsy where else. It's called 'getting ones country back' :-)

And the suggestion on the BBC was that much of the Foreign Office work has been hived off to the department for Exiting the EU and the department for International Trade; leaving just the diplomatic "meets" for Johnson. Unsure if that is so, or how it would pan out as folk expand their spheres of influence, but if so it's obvious now that Johnson was especially picked for his diplomatic strengths.

Morgan has also gone.

Diplomatic strengths that he has hitherto kept expertly hidden I'd suggest :-)
