Is there any other job in the world where the boss can just swap the managers around and hope everything is run better?
Do these people actually have any qualifications? I don’t understand how you can just shuffle people around when they have no experience of what they’re doing. That’s what it feels like to me.
Randomly reshuffling the cabinet is all Sunak can do at this point. That “We want to be dictators but we are not bright enough” party it’s constantly on the brink of self-destruction and the only way to hold it together is to give some of the more, enthusiastic members, top jobs to keep them quiet.
Ministers aren’t supposed to have experience, they’re there to make decisions. All the expertise is held in the Civil Service, and they don’t get shuffled around.
They just get occasionally fired by vandals.
The decision of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwaerteng to instantly sack two top civil servants damaged the running of government and seemed intended to give the message that they valued political alignment above competence, former senior officials have said.
