More seriously you wouldn't expect any PM to know all the "details", that's what ministers and the civil service are for. I wouldn't say someone else is controlling him but he is the public face for a load of faceless bureaucrats. Trouble for him though is that if it fails then it's his fault but if it all works it's the hard work of those on the ground.

Actually on the very serious issues I do expect him or any PM for that matter to have more than a passing acquaintance with the subject, it's to important not to, other politicians can manage it but then perhaps they take the job more seriously

Enjoy the dosh he has previously earned as a journo/hack vs being in charge of a ship he can't manage. I hope he's displaced very soon.

The chicken feed? Thing is if he is displaced who replaces him? I don't like the cut of any of their jibs and sometimes it's better the bozo you know

It would be difficult to find the perfect Tory candidate for PM. Imo, least worst and would prolly do a good job, is Dominic Raab.

John Deadwood isn't the answer I'm afraid, that ship sailed
