Boris as Foreign Secretary - How Will This Pan Out For Britain?

Boris Johnson's appointment as Foreign Secretary by Theresa May, has left not just an ordinary citizen like myself, but more than half of the world's influential governmental figures and leaders incredulous and in laughter and scepticism.  I cannot quite comprehend how such an unreliable and mischievous individual could be trusted to support Brexit and our reputation abroad. How is he supposed to forge new relations and maintain existing ties if he has a tendency to insult renowned people, be it presidents or other very important people. What I find particularly frustrating must I say, is his previous dig at U.S president Barack Obama, claiming that the Obama, being part-Kenyan, dislikes the British empire due to his ancestral dislike.

Theresa May Should Be Our Prime Minister

Female leadership is very different to male leadership, female leadership is both revolutionary and necessary. Women create the workforce of the world and therefore they deserve to lead decisions in authoritative positions and voicing their opinions and sharing their expertise and wisdom. About two days ago, I sat with my partner on the train home one evening and told him I believe Theresa May will win the contest and become our new prime minister. My partner started laughing and joked, " A woman prime minister, that's all we need" and we both erupted into laughter. He was joking of course, but I couldn't help but sing May's praise. I told my partner May is a confident contender with years of experience in all influential sectors such as banking and finance, education and politics. Although rivals Andrea Leadsom and Michael Gove are well-educated, well-rounded people, both of them couldn't come an inch near to May. For one, Leadsom seems a bit deceiving,
