The English Education Secretary came under
attack from almost all sides yesterday, with some of the kinder descriptions
including words like incompetent, ineffectual, careless, tribal, and inept.
Number 10 leapt
to his defence claiming that the PM had full confidence in him (although if
he were a football team manager, that would normally be the prelude to an imminent
departure). In a rare moment of honesty, the PM’s Press Secretary declared that
Williamson is doing the job “to his utmost ability” apparently not
realising that that is not so much a strong defence as an entirely accurate
statement of the problem. It’s an analysis which could be extended – the whole
cabinet, including the PM himself, are doing their jobs to the utmost of their
ability. This really is as good as it gets from a Johnson government.

Incompetence, lack of capacity for the role, unsuitable material - these are all words that describe the large numbers of Tory ministers that have passed through the Cabinet and immediate subordinate roles since 2010. Add dishonesty, corruption and personal gain and you get a pretty comprehensive picture of the entire bunch of squalid tvrds. How on earth a P.M could entertain the ass Greyling in one role is open to serious question. That he went on to serve in 2 or 3 more senior roles defies belief. Just one example of several, and the oaf Williamson is probably no worse than many others. Just worry that we may be lumbered with this lot for another 4 odd years. Then take a good look at the material wallowing on the shadow front bench and ask how can anybody object to seceding from this crazy lot ?
