Actually, I'm not sure that it is a demotion: it's a significant job and one I'm sure she'll do well. But she was too good at defending government policy to stay at Transport. Which means there've now been three Transport secretaries since May 2010, an average length of stay in the job of little over 9 months. How long does it take a cabinet minister to learn the job properly? 9 months at least, I should guess, so shifting people so often is inefficient, not to say crazy. |
