• The top government official in charge of no-deal Brexit planning

    , 33,

    I'm trying not to sound like I'm casting aspersions on Mr Skinner's ability, and it's possible I'm just projecting onto myself at that age, but doesn't 33 sound a little young to be in charge of a massive change project? Like, perhaps, a few more experienced hands may have turned it down before him?

  • I'm sure plenty of people turned it down. A friend is one rung below senior civil servant and has a lot of experience with the UK and EU courts and there were a few overtures to her from the Brexit dept a few years ago.
    She politely declined, and less politely said to me there was no way she wanted that shower of shit on her CV.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with someone 33 leading something. Plenty of useless 50 year olds and useful 33 year olds
