I believe Rob Callister has stated that he was disappointed not to be made a minster at the last reorganisation. But there were those who said they didn't want a Ministerial post as a cornerstone of their campaign? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Ship Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) This all sort of reads like a third-rate John Grisham novel. "The Manx Firm" anyone? (I suppose the only difference is that members of this "Firm" don't get bumped off. They don't, do they?) Edit: Or "The Best Club in the World"?] Edited May 14, 2022 by Ghost Ship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry - that's a daft question, isn't it?) Well, it isn't really. It is a basic demonstration of an inquiring mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant I was asking a stupid question. I think it's obvious that they don't want ministers with an enquiring mind. (a) Some people ask questions because they don't know something but want to find out about it. (b) Some people don't ask questions when they should because they don't want to appear stupid. (c) Some people don't ask questions because they are stupid. (d) Some people don't ask questions because they know they aren't meant to... Two of these qualities are essential for success in some jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a copy of the earlier one, somewhere. Also note there is a 5 year gap when she went from working in a bank to reappearing as the Managing Director of an NHS. Maybe she gets the same person to write her CVs as Ann Reynolds does.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His CV reads bar manager 2001-2003. In fact, I would be surprised if he wasn't honorary professor in glass collecting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
