It must be amazing to be an expert in such diverse areas. I know little about the man and I’m not going to criticise him...I just seriously hope he’s a hell of a lot better than many of his Cabinet colleagues and that he is aided by genuine experts in the areas of procurement and distribution and doesn’t have to rely on those who advised regarding ‘test and trace’.

Good for you (really) Ram...what are you likely to have to do? I’m assuming you’re not qualified to actually vaccinate folk.
I think I’m more doubtful about Zahawi than you are actually. It’s difficult warm to most of the current people in charge, or for that matter most of the opposition. The Tory class of 92, who quite rightly got booted out in 97, might have been a bunch of crooks but at least they gave an air of confidence that they knew their jobs when interviewed

Edit I concur with Geoff’s assessment, they are just mouthpieces, Shame some of them aren’t better ones
