So it has been a while since I’ve posted.

I've been busy here in Parliament.

Since I last wrote, the UK was just about to enter a leadership election contest. David Cameron decided to immediately resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom with a view to the Conservative Party electing a Prime Minister for the whole of the United Kingdom in September.

Well, that's all been thrown out the window and Theresa May has been crowned as Prime Minister.

We are a T + 62 days since the UK voted to leave the European Union and we’re pretty much in the same place that we were before.

Well, that’s not entirely true. The there is a possibility that the United Kingdom may trigger Article 50 in December of this year. Of course, that’s not a guarantee.

The UK Government has gone through a massive overhaul. There is a Government department that is solely dedicated to removing the UK from the EU. It is aptly named, the “Department for Exiting the European Union.” The leader of that department, David Davis, will have a place at the Cabinet table but, there will no longer be a place for the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change because Prime Minister May has dissolved the department sending the responsibility for climate change legislation to the newly created Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
According to the Government, this means that the Government can, “tackle climate change without jeopardising economic growth.” Seeing as the UK once again experienced the “Hottest July ever” for the third year in a row, I’m sure that the UK/rest of the world, does not need to take climate change seriously.

PM May has also created a Department for International Trade, their first job of course will be getting trade negotiators because the UK doesn’t have any. Also, there won’t be much for them to do before Brexit because the EU still negotiates all of the trade deals for the UK until such time as the UK leaves the EU.

The biggest surprise, was the appointment of Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary. A man who said that President Obama removed a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval office because he was “part-Kenyan” and still upset about the Mau-Mau uprising, was having to defend that comment next to US Secretary of State John Kerry.

So there you have it. In that time where the Machinery of Government was announced and, an even more, right wing Government was unveiled. The UK, Europe and the world is still woefully under-informed about what is still becoming an ever greater global destabilising event. Brexit is serious. It is a problem for Europe but, it is becoming an even greater challenge for the UK.

The UK economy has been in a pleasant ignorant bliss about Brexit. I'll post more about it later but, remember this in later posts.

In short, there's still a long way to go.
