When he stood down from the leadership campaign he wasn't politically dead, unlike Oiky.<br /><br />2. Outside of London many traditional shire county Tories still think he's a hero.<br /><br />3. Whilst Foreign Minister sounds important, he can't actually go introducing legislation in this country. And in the these days of instant communications it's relatively easy for the PM to keep him on a short lead and to repair any damage done.<br /><br />4. Give him the job, put him under the sort of scrutiny he's not had outside of London.<br /><br />5. Let him fuck up a few times, show the grass roots what a tosser he is, then sack him - avoiding any outcry from the old ears of Comfyshire.<br /><br /><br />As for Liam Fox, also quite clever. It's a put up or shut up challenge. He's been saying that Britain can survive Brexit by expanding trade with the rest of the world. Now he's got the power to prove himself right. And if he can't deliver who has he got to blame?SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-55224986370559699362016-07-14T14:38:44.979+01:002016-07-14T14:38:44.979+01:00@ Dave

May couldn't banish all the leading Brexiters to the back benches - she had to at least acknowledge them. In doing this she's given perhaps the least dangerous (to her) a big prize, knowing that it'll be more trouble to him than it's worth. A white elephant, a hospital pass of an appointment.
