Fox will head an international trade department. Sounds logical since the UK will need to make their own trade deals now the UK is leaving the EU.

Well he'll bring his special advisers, ''think tanks'', ''charities'' and lobbyists, but I would wager he won't represent British interests...

Most horrid candidate given his record for that position (arms deals,etc). At least, as an Atlanticist, he will be popular with the GOP should they take the White House.

I wonder what is left of the international trade department. They'll have to employ specialists probably currently based in Brussels given the ordo-liberal nature of international trade these days.

That's presumably all for tonight. The rest (still loads to announce and many more key positions) tomorrow I suppose. Wonder if Gove gets in. Also, Rudd aside, this looks like the most heavyweight cabinet in some time.

Gove is finished with Boris in the cabinet. He is also famously on bad terms with May. Portillo admitted they hated each other.
