It was impressive (although I didn't agree with its political stance, of course).<br /><br />Was this Penny Mordaunt's job application for a ministerial post? If so, it was a winning one. If she can hang on to her seat in the General Election, then she may prove to be a rising star.Martin H Goodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079479984296674469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-87521555623322841922014-07-16T10:52:24.262+01:002014-07-16T10:52:24.262+01:00Boles' time will be judged favourably, I think...Boles' time will be judged favourably, I think. While not everything he did worked, his focus on the importance of more building (in the face of selfish opposition, which probably cost him the job in the end) was true public service.<br /><br />I suspect Ms Mordaunt will be expected not to rock the boat in the run-up to the election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-64063456600672590922014-07-16T09:14:18.751+01:002014-07-16T09:14:18.751+01:00It appears that Brandon Lewis has the planing brie...It appears that Brandon Lewis has the planing brief in place of Boles. See https://www.gov.uk/government/people/brandon-lewis<br /><br />At least he is a lawyer, with experience of local government, so he may have some idea of how it all works.
