Edit - regarding playing the victim card, his intersectionality scoring is very low. I suggest he focus's on the Welsh bit.

joebean Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The Twitter offerings of Hooper on this are very revealing about him, if nothing else. He has a condescending and arrogant demeanour and doesn’t take criticism well at all. Or proper questioning. He appears to have resorted to blocking anyone on Twitter who has done so. As a politician he has some serious shortcomings. I suspect a career in accountancy might be on the horizon. I’m not sure what role the CM has been playing behind the scenes. I do however, have a shred of sympathy for him. He has many difficult issues to tackle but when he casts his eye around CoMIN and Tynwald, seeking assets to help deliver results, he must only see liabilities. Hooper must rank high amongst them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 100% despotic behaviour he always acts like a spoilt child and throws his toys out of the pram but this is embarrassing now. I still don’t know how LV squares his behaviour. It’s supposed to be the party of openness to bring government to account and yet here we have a high profile member threatening to sue a journalist to keep him quiet. It’s a joke of a party and he’s a joke of a politician. Edited July 21, 2023 by offshoremanxman 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just shows that the ‘culture’ is still alive and kicking in DHSC, they and he has leant nothing after costing tax payers several million. Alf Cannon get the fool out of out of Ministerial team and protect the public from him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringy Rose Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 17 hours ago, Non-Believer said: Less about confidence in Cannan's administration and more about confidence in the whole political system, I'd suggest. Don't forget we had Quayle before this and Bell's 5 year retirement sendoff before that. Time for a directly elected Chief Minister. It’s the only way to fix it. I said at the time Cannan would be a disaster as CM, a pound shop Thatcher with a nasty authoritarian streak to boot. Thankfully neither of my MHKs voted for him- which is why I think Maltby (not everyone’s cup of tea but I reckon she’s good) and especially Christian would be good in power- but it’s insane none of us get to choose who leads us. At least in the UK with the party system you indirectly get to choose. As for Abbotswood, I’ve heard plenty from people who worked there at the time and two things get repeated: the management was useless even before Covid, and the DHSC did nothing even though they should have known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have much time for Moulton, he’s not exactly discerning in who he interviews, most of his videos are interviews with incoherent crackpots. But, as with Callister, if Hooper doesn’t like them then they must have something good about them.

Actually he is minister for smallest Department, about 3 million budget and 35 staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
