Reply to: Today's minister is...

[SueEllen]

Oh god she's on the radio now talking about equality.

I'm off to watch some telly/VOD.

Edited to say: she's had some holes ripped into her arguments. Not very good at logic this lot.

[darmstadt]

But we know she's not, so all that tells us is not to make such facile judgements on superficial things.

Well she might be, all the trade deals that her and her department have recently negotiated are just rollovers of current ones that the UK has via the EU, so not exactly a huge amount of thinking to be done there. That comes next as they will have to be renegotiated within the next couple of years which will be much more difficult. Looking at how she acted today also shows that she's not quite the sharpest knife in the drawer either, looks like she's trying to out do Patel as most obnoxious female minister

She sounds simple in all her speeches.

I think you mean (Dr.) Thérèse Coffey

Possibly, however knowing how this government works she might have changed it or merged with Liz Truss....Took quite a while for anyone to notice that actually which does show how much interest people take in their elected representatives (apart from yourself)

Mmmm an accountant.

[HoofHearted]

There are in fact 4 others in the cabinet:

Liz Truss - Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade, Minister for Women and Equalities
Elizabeth Coffey - Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

And how many people have heard of:

Baroness Evans of Bowes Park - Leader of the House of Lords, Lord Privy Seal
Amanda Milling - Minister without Portfolio (Unpaid)

They're not wheeled out very often though and there are a number of other ministers such as Kemi Badenoch and Baroness Goldie (honest)

[SueEllen]

Only women get comments about eating it.

A match made in heaven?

I don't see being a bit crazy as a bad thing, but I think I'm far too boringly normal

Only women eat Banana bread?

Racist if she were black

Ah ignorance & prejudice again.

Maybe if she was Greek or American. Just because a plant originates in a country does it mean all recipes using it are from that country think of spotted dick if you will!
