Re: European Breakfast - May 9 (4.00 / 2)

Sorry, Beckett will still be getting up to speed in 2008/9. "9/11 ? Still reading the brefing about that"

Her performance at DEFRA merited sacking, not promotion.

Re: European Breakfast - May 9 (none / 0)

I'd have a field day during the Questions period at the commons on this "getting up to speed" thing.

It's tempting, but I think they'd be better advised to sit it out and keep it as a trump card for when you need it. Why bother trying when your opponents are doing your job far more viciously than you'd dare ?

Even the Independent said that John Reid only needed a blue badge to be a Conservative election agent.

By "they" you mean the tories... I'm thinking Labour Backbenchers, Plaid Cymru, or the LibDems.

Plais Cymru seem more up to the task than anyone else, from what I've been gathering.
