I'm assuming Fast Stream recruitment from a Consultancy, moving quickly enough between previous secondments/assignments that he was 'never there', when blame was being doled out for non/underperformance or late/over budget.
Took on current role on the basis there were no budget restrictions,
(Look at the money Grayling wasted on non-existent ferries).
As we inch closer to some form of dePeffel-induced disaster,
there are many fewer opportunities to embarass MPs,
(turning Kent motorways into lorry parks),
so back into 'Business' with a hatful of contacts,
and the inside line on some future privatisations,
(pay-per-mile Motoways?, pay-per-litre potable water?,
pay-per-lesson for 16-18 education?)
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?
