It's great to see so many women holding top jobs but I do hope they're not just token appointments! I always question with cabinet appointments how people with little experience in the sector(s) they cover - Greening and Leadsom are two examples I've thought of - can really run that section of government effectively?

Someone feel free to explain because it could just be naivety on my part.

There's only 1 more woman in the cabinet than there was under Cameron

There's only 1 more woman in the cabinet than there was under Cameron

I mean in more high-profile jobs (especially with justice sec, and another woman taking over home and education posts)

Leadsom sounds like a nutcase who should not be in government, though I guess that's true for most of them.
