Badenoch has the same problem as Sunak and Starmer
There's simply not enough political experience to answer a question with any dexterity whatsoever. There's nothing to draw on.

I suspect this has almost as much to do with lack of experience as it does modern media training.
Lots of ex politicians suddenly become eloquent and interesting having left office.

She has a habit of answering a different question than has been asked, which is normal, but she starts her answers with "yes... " before saying what she wants to say, which doesn't work and gets her into trouble.

I would put her down as another of the people who aren't as clever as they think they are (or as they try to make out). From recent Tories, genuinely struggling to name ones who stand out as 'clever' or 'wise'. I hate to say it, but Gove might actually have a brain behind his unprincipled facade. Maybe Jeremy Hunt, though trying to defend the indefensible blunted it. But no stand-outs of the last Tory cabinet.
I think Starmer has a good brain, but hasn't got the charisma or presentation skills needed, ditto Reeves. Darren Jones is sharp, I think.

I don't think Michael "we want all schools to be above average" Gove is one of the great political minds.

She strikes me as similar to Truss in a certain arrogance and unfaltering belief they are always right. The problem for people like that who refuse to ever admit they are wrong or accept any criticism for this is that it makes them look monumentally thick, as though they never really understood the decisions they took and why they were doomed to fail (think Truss and her mini budget).

Or just so slightly narcissistic that believe they are more intelligent than anyone around them.

That too!

Oh, certainly not, but I don't think there's as much a mismatch between his intellect and his perception of his intellect as there is with others. (I'm also aware of his thinking as he's reasonably clever the education he had must be the one all other schools should follow. He's also an arse of the first order.)

Interesting perspective from a Nigerian current affairs programme.
Just to be clear, interesting in a 🤨 way, not a Musk way.

Badenoch bringing back the intellectual heavyweights with records of success to match... Priti Patel now Shadow Foreign Secretary.

Pretty clear indication that they're not that interested in winning.

Either that, or that is the depth of talent. Personally, I'd go for the latter.

Haha, and Robert Whiff-of-Impropriety Jenrick is Shadow Justice Secretary. That's really going to dispel memories of the Tory catastrophe since the Brexit vote.

Maybe she's just doing it to 'wind up the libs', overlooking the fact that every one of them has been a spectacular failure on every metric (other than winding up the libs).

Patel and Jenerick go straight on resignation watch

I genuinely want them to get their shit together because decent competition makes all parties raise their game and we should all benefit from that. This feels like putting the same team out that just lost the last match 8-0.

It's easy to forget that Starmer was the Brexit minister under Corbyn. A new leader can change things.

Well let's hope so, but I'll not hold my breath.

I think the difference is that Starmer didn't have a record as an incompetent failed minister at that point, as was something of an unknown quantity. We already know what the shadow cabinet failed at.

PS I'm sure there's a suitable football analogy about a team that's just crashed out of the Premier League having scored only four goals in a season, two of which were own goals, but I'll leave that to someone who gives a toss about football.

I'm not sure can say his time as Brexit minister was a success.

Can anybody claim success regarding brexit?

Patel though. How empty must the barrel be?

I have to say, if I was an aspiring Tory MP in parliament, and I'd seen these failures reappointed instead of trying something fresh and untainted, I'd be a bit miffed. I realise that with only 121 MPs, is not a massive pool, but they must have a few people with more braincells than Jenrick & Patel... given how long it is to the next election, it would seem an ideal time to try something different, and to give them time to master their briefs.

Haha, and dimwit Philp now Home Secretary. It's just extraordinary - it's almost as if Badenoch just wants to remind us of the shitshow.

Dame Priti Patel don't forget! Amazing that someone can be sacked as Foreign Secretary for basically running their own private foreign policy and then be given a Damehood further down the line.

Chris Philp as shadow Home Secretary. Quite possibly the most incompetent of the whole lot, he is the man they send out to the media when all else has failed and they require someone so dumb that the interviewer just loses the will to live and stops asking difficult questions as it is pointless.
