No surprise, but for the record the deed is done. May is the 13th Prime Minister of the Queen's reign. Extensive coverage at the link

May is starting to form her cabinet. Interesting to note that Boris Johnson just walked through the door to No. 10. Foreign Secretary? Home Office? Chief Minister for Brexit?
Also word just in that George Osborne has been sacked as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Phillip Hammond is the new one.
It looks like she’s a supporter of Black/Brown Lives Matter

Theresa May: police forces are ‘too white’
Home secretary attacks Bernard Hogan-Howes view that rise in knife crime linked to fall in stop and search, and criticises polices record on race
Theresa May publicly criticises claims made by Britains most senior police officer that a rise in knife crime is linked to falls in stop and search, branding them as a kneejerk reaction and false.
In a combative speech May also criticised the race record of the police in England and Wales, saying they are too white, with not one of the 43 forces looking like the communities they serve.
Her remarks on stop and search are a direct challenge to Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, commissioner of the Metropolitan police. He said a rise in knife crime in London can be connected to large reductions in stops and searches from his officers.
Addressing the conference of the National Black Police Association, the home secretary said:Properly targeted, stop and search will actually help reduce knife crime. It will save police time to focus on prevention and work with gangs, and it will improve the relationship between the police and the public on which all of your work rests.
We must not jettison all that good work for the sake of a kneejerk reaction on the back of a false link.

It’s official; Boris Johnson appointed Foreign Minister.
Big Bo is foreign Minister. That should be fun.

And, in fact, if she ever does that, the official order given by the Prime Minister is believed to be to 'enact Queen's Order One'.
(Queen's Order Two authorises the mobilisation of all British forces and civil entities for, if necessary, all out war and is reasonably public knowledge - the precise nature or existence of QO1 has never been officially acknowledged but something like it would be constitutionally necessary in a situation where the Prime Minister might have to make an instant decision and issue an unambiguous order. In essence, it would be a signed order from the Queen authorising whatever action the Prime Minister decided was necesssary that lies dormant to be activated at the Prime Minister's discretion).
Very profound.
Theresa May is the elite’s best hope for squashing Brexit. That is why she is there, IMHO.
Maybe. But she just appointed three of the four leading Brexit proponents to top positions in her cabinet. And she just created a new government ministry to coordinate Brexit. All in the first few hours on the job.
Be prepared. Wright is the Brit version of the despicable amoral, Chamber of Commerce serving, "Republicans" who have done soooooo much to wreck our country. The sooner Wright is driven out the better.
A 72 hour political campaign. What a concept.
I don't think she has to call an election for a couple of years.
There's no reason to believe Trump and May would be any different.
I disagree. She made Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary, a clear sign she is pro departure and will get along with Trump.
