The new government by Mrs May is so far appearing to be very different from that it was before, which seems very appropriate on Bastille Day. If you’ve been a follower of UK politics for the last decade, that George Osborne is now on the backbenches it seems weird given his past dominance, in fact it is the first time since July 1992, that Gordon Brown or George Osborne hasn’t been either Shadow Chancellor or Chancellor.
It does appear that Mrs May’s is intent on delivering on her promises, in Justine Greening, we now have our first comprehensively educated Education Secretary. Justine Greening is recently came out, it is an indication how far the Tory party have moved on from their section 28 and opposing equal age of consent legacies.
As someone who is wishing Mrs May well, I do wonder if she has overdone the sackings, she only has a majority of 12, and as Lyndon Johnson observed, it is better to have the bastards inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in.
Theresa May appears to have sat in Cabinet for 6 years looking at colleagues quietly planning the day she can kill them off

Have the Labour and Tory backbenches ever been so strong?
