So we now have only the second female Prime Minister ever, Theresa May.

Hopefully though she won’t be anything like Margaret Thatcher, otherwise we’ve got trouble ahead.

As a self-confessed reformist, she’s even introduced a new Brexit ministry and installed David Davis, a veteran Euro sceptic to lead it, and by having a pro Brexit campaigner at the helm is showing her government’s commitment to coming out of the EU.

It came as quite a surprise to many of us when she appointed the man seen as the leader of the Brexit campaign, Boris Johnson, as Foreign Secretary.

I wonder if he’d already done a deal when he withdrew from the race to be Prime Minister?

I think Liam Fox as Secretary of State for International Trade is a good appointment, he’ll most certainly put the United Kingdom on the international map, something we have failed to do in the past.

Many of us will be glad to see the back of former Chancellor George Osborne, the man who threatened to hold an emergency budget if we voted for out.

Obviously by voting out, he was voted out too.

What I find hard to understand, with countries such as Italy, The Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden calling for their own referenda on leaving the EU, is why my colleagues in the SNP are talking about joining this corrupt and discredited organisation.

Instead of Brexit being bad for the country with politicians warning of the FTSE crashing, just the opposite has happened and the FTSE is now stronger than ever.

I was sceptical about Theresa May becoming our next Prime Minister, thinking it would be simply more of the same but she proved to be lethal in sacking many of David Cameron’s frontbenchers, let’s see if she’s as hard on those obnoxious non-elected Eurocrats.

Devastating effect of oil downturn

There’s nothing surer than the dramatic effect the oil downturn has had both here at home and throughout the world. I visited Venezuela a few years ago and found the people to be extremely friendly, but a society made up of the haves and have nots, with a huge reliance on oil exports.

Since the death of former president Chavez I can see how the low oil price is having a devastating effect on the country and how shops have bare shelves where food in abundance was once visible and President Maduro’s extreme measures could lead to another revolution.

BBC not the family name they were

I see Chris Evans is the latest BBC casualty, with his resignation from Top Gear.

It was bad enough losing the original team to Amazon, but also losing The Voice to ITV is ridiculous.

Surely the Beeb need to have a good look at themselves, particularly with so much competition on satellite.

With Cliff Richard having decided to take the BBC to court for having colluded with the police over the raid on his home, the Beeb are no longer the family name they used to be.
