Forming cabinet among formidable tasks facing new UK PM
London
INCOMING British Prime Minister Theresa May faces formidable tasks and the first is to choose highly competent cabinet ministers to cope with the complexities of Brexit and a divided nation.
The 14th UK prime minister under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II has stated three key objectives as she comes to power on Wednesday: "First, the need for strong, proven leadership to steer us through what will be difficult and uncertain economic and political times, the need of course, to negotiate the best deal for Britain in leaving the EU (European Union) and to forge a new role for ourselves in the world".
