It's been noted already that this will just be a show pony role.
The 'Brexit' office (David Davis) and the new Dept of Int Trade (Liam Fox), along with No.10 will do all the real work with other countries. Boris will just be...Boris in faraway lands while everyone else in the cabinet gets on with things that matter.
Edit: and of course, May can claim to have appeased all the 'Leavers' by saying she's put one of their main men in a 'top job', and one that deals with international relations to boot!, *pats leavers on head*.

Someone in the Guardian's live feed:
"Now let me think, what high-profile cabinet job can someone cock up in but ruin only their own career, not their party's electoral chances?"
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
