....a middle aged white, privileged, probably Oxbridge man in a safe job for life cannot accept working for a very determined and strong woman?

She has clearly taken away his power base and he does not like it one bit.

I know I'm an old fashioned guy but whatever your opinions of an individual it is still a disgusting comment to make on a public forum |
Whereas
" "I would have told the EU in particular to sod off with their excessive financial demands""
is quite a suitable comment to make from a minister - one who was 'sacked' through having clandestine meetings with Isreal
And those payments are now being made.
Not the most competent person to have in government, is she ? |  | | |

And countless personal testimonies. Given her past ‘performance’ and actions, she shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of authority. She (like her boss) is literally considered a national security risk.
She’s only there because she sold her soul for a position in government. | |

again, not at all.
He resigns claiming constructive dismissal because a very strong woman comes in and has taken away his power base.
I think there could be a bit of 'do you know who I am?' in this. Don't forget he's a man used to sitting at the top. I think PP has simply knocked him and he's toppled.
It's nothing to do the BJ or anything like that Harry. I'm looking at this one thing. It is provocative I know, the situation, not the post, but I quite like to see the old guard shaken a bit.
I think there could be a serious amount of complacency at his level. That's all. |
You have no evidence for that conclusion. Which suggests you are simply trying to show the party in good light.
Pp supports death penalty ffs. |  |

The path of least resistance suggests that a politician who is renowned for being untrustworthy, provocative and callous is still being untrustworthy, provocative and callous. |  |

I did wonder who he’d worked for - there have been quite a few controlling and difficult ministers over the years, so presumably this won’t be the first time he’s faced a challenge. The idea he’s suddenly come up against a strong personality for the first time, as if he’s some wet behind the ears intern, is quite preposterous. | |

My partner went to school with her and I can confirm the statement was entirely accurate.
I do think HB has accidentally raised an interesting point though. If the boot had been on the other foot ppl would be calling prejudice all over the shop. |

I'm not saying she is an angel. You don't get that far without sharp elbows and pointed shoes. Especially if you are a woman of race.
Vapour trail saw it as misogynistic and racist which was also implied. I didn't make my reply as clear as I ought to have. Sorry.
If it had been Dianne then this place would be melting. I'm agnostic in the op. Had to believe but true. | |

I think most people who dislike her, listen to her and read her views and the policies she backs.
Maybe take a nose at her record then repost your thoughts.
It was a bizarre angle to just take a pop at Rutnam and excuse her by any lengths you could come up with. |  |

I think this is my problem with her.
I don't buy all this stuff about bullying because let's face it we really have absolutely no idea what goes on behind the scenes but although she has conveniently changed her mind about the death penalty I cannot engage with anyone who has ever been in favour of it. |  |

Mo Mowlem ?
A usual requirement is competence and trespect. This woman possesses neither. As I doubt Edwina Currie was promoted to the level she was through either of the above.
For those who know about WW2 they will be aware of one of the reasons Eisenhower was appointed ro overall control...with limited battle experience.
JHe could get things done. Almost always with the carrot not the stick. By building bridges, not walls.
Patel is clearly way out of her depth as previous positions have shown. The clip were clearly she doesn't even know the difference between counter terroris
m and terrorism should be enough to get the measure of her limitations. But the wholly unworkable points system of immigration should confirm that. It smacks of Thatcher and the Poll Tax when she had began to believe it actually was her, not others. Then we saw the real incopetent as she pushed for Football club membership.

No. The time to think something is when there is an evidential basis. Before that its mindless speculation. | |

Dry your eyes mate. |
You are a hypocrite. You have reported and were 'offended' by the likes of Benters and others on this forum in the past for 'abusive' language, (well anybody who differs from your hard left politics!) yet you feel YOU can call somebody you don't even know a ***t on here. You need to show some respect just because someone doesn't share your politics what gives you the right to call them that? Yes, I have reported that post as abuse because it is. | |

If someone's abusing their position then that's it.
