Yesterday, after PMQs, Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson, carried out a Cabinet reshuffle, in which loyalty to him was rewarded with the sack but loyalty to Brexit earned promotion.
I won't go into details, but here's the thing:
If I wanted to get a new job in a different field, say was in HR now wanted to move into HSE, I would have to show I had the background to be abe to even be considered. I still have to supply exam results I obtained in 1981 on any job applications I might make.
A Government MInister in something like transport can be moved to become MInister in Justice of Health, with no actual background in the new job. Or the old one for that matter.
Dominic Raab has been moved to Justice where he can say he is a trained lawyer, but not a senior one as the BBC was briefed and repeated, as he left after 6 years. Nor is Nadine Dorres a successful author if all she writes is sub-Cartland bodice-rippers. But that was what was reported. Her other claim to (media) fame is that she one ate ostrich anus live on TV. IN Australia. When she should have been in the House of Commons. As an MP. Her party, the one she is still in an a Minister for, didn't know. I am not making this up.
Until there are actual qualifications and experience requirements for particular MInisterial jobs, we will have the situation where someone like Chris Grayling can become Lord Chancellor despite having no experience in Law of the legal profession at all. And he thought it an advantage.
Johnson has moved some deckchairs on the deck of the Titanic, polished some turds.
