Has he stopped waffling.

Never fear Her Majesty's Pontificator In Chief ... Boris "beefy" Johnson will soon be back to prognosticate on our future prospects ... or will he provide us with our only solace in these sad times... namely - "his silence"

when the going gets tough

johnson is long gone

How on earth will QT survive without its resident mouthpiece ?

He is picking the best people irrespective of anything else.

Unless we count Lisa Nandy. Anneliese Dodds shadow chancellor, desperate.

You are the one that is sounding increasingly desperate.

Do you feel Anneliese Dodds is the strongest candidate for shadow chancellor on the labour benches. Serious question.

We currently have a clown in charge that is hiding away after shaking hands with every coronavirus patient under the sun before passing it on to his pregnant partner and half the cabinet and advisers. If you have folks in opposition better than that, you are in business.

Just answer the question. htf can you try and turn a debate about the shadow cabinet to (I presume) your pet hate, Bozo

I am simply saying that virtually any shadow cabinet member will have a better current record than the Prime Minister has.

Starmer, to me, looks as though he has got off to a decent start.

Still not answered the question.

Do you feel Anneliese Dodds is the strongest candidate for shadow chancellor on the labour benches?

Why not? Who should he have picked?

I'm asking you. Why are you avoiding a simple question? If you're not sure, that's fine.

No gardnering leave pun?

I am not avoiding it. I am saying why not? You are saying she is a desperate choice. Who would you have picked?

Why not? is not an answer it's another question.

Since you ask, Peter Kyle is at least one I would put ahead of Annelise.

Starmer obviously felt she was the best choice available to him. She is well qualified and has worked her way through the ranks. I am not sure why you feel she is a desperate choice. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other clear outstanding candidate for the role. Now, who would you have picked?
