From the moment you are appointed a Minister you are on duty, on risk, and have powers to improve or prevent things that are wrong. The present government 16 months in still behaves like a dissatisfied guest in Hotel Government, blaming the previous managers for things not working. They are the managers now.
Worse still they are the managers whose actions to date are making things much worse, not improving them. Take the most sensitive issues where people wanted change for the better. Illegal migrants have increased a lot instead of smashing the gangs. Inflation has nearly doubled as they put up energy bills, water hills and the costs of employing people. The number of people wrongly let out of jail has more than doubled. The deficit has been greatly increased by a big increase in public spending with no matching improvement in service.
So why? Ministers have done things that were bound to make things worse – increasing prices and costs, removing past attempts to cut ilegal migration, cutting sentences that have to be served, giving more money without seeing what it will buy, hitting business, entrepreneurs and savers with penal taxes.
Ministers have proved incapable of leading their officials. David Lammy instead of taking the blame and working with officials when there was the first high profile wrong release, denounced his staff in public and announced a new way to release without getting buy in from the people doing it. No wonder there was another big embarrassment a few days later.Rachel Reeves has pencilled in big numbers for more efficiencies and productivity gains in future without setting out a joint work programme with departmental managers to deliver the savings. Wes Streeting has announced the abolition of NHS England without thinking how to pay the redundancy bills or get the work done that will still need doing.Ed Miliband Announces unrealistic targets then refuses the blame for the rip off costs and prices needed to try to hit them.
Ministers need some training on how to do these demanding jobs. Mouthing press releases about what they would like to do jars when reality is so different.

Morning Sir John,
It always strikes me as odd, to say the least that, someone with absolutely no experience nor expertise, can be put in charge of a critical government department and manage multi billion pound budgets.
In industry, if you have zero experience and zero qualifications, you would not be able to land a CEO’s job, unless you told a couple of whoppers on your CV, but then you’d be found out when the lack of knowledge or expertise shines through.
It seems that you just need to convince enough people to vote for you to land a well paid role and all the prestige that position affords.
I suppose that, these days, far too many politicians go into politics straight from education rather than after experiencing life in the real world.
Is it time for a real change where only people with some experience in a particular field, should run that government department, say a Doctor to be Health Secretary or an ex police officer to run justice department or a former military person to run the Mod?
November 6, 2025
No experience, expertise and usually Not even bright!
I occasionally used to listen to Lammy on LBC radio some years back I alway found him to be unpleasant, rude to callers, (words left out ed) and rather dim but who thought he was very clever. But perhaps that is just me? His moronic Chagos deal as an example.
November 6, 2025
The ignorance and incompetence of this government and of far too many MPs is breathtaking. I suspect the rot started when a previous Labour government insisted that being a MP must be a full time job. That has reduced the number who can bring wider experience from outside politics in favour of those on a conveyer belt from student union politics to researcher to spad to safe seat with no real world experience in between.
November 6, 2025
@Oldtimer92 – ‘a MP must be a full time job’ I never understood that. As logic dictates if you are and now have never been engaged in work, how can you have a real view of what earning, really earning a wage was.
It came along with the WOKE engagement of parliament as a 9-5 job without responsibility
November 6, 2025
Appointing a Doctor as Health Secretary is a very bad idea. Appointing an NHS patient as one is far better.

CW : “Is it time for a real change where only people with some experience in a particular field, should run that government department, say a Doctor to be Health Secretary or an ex police officer to run justice department or a former military person to run the Mod?”
Isn’t this the system we have now? The Civil Service, the 444 quangos and the judiciary are now in control. Do you really think that David Lammy can make changes to decisions made by Sir Himphrey? Why do we have no control over immigration (legal and illegal) despite the electorate voting for it? At which GE did we vote for Net Zero (or Parliament come to that)? Why does NHS England still exist when were told it would be cancelled? This of course explains why nothing changes between GEs except that each time it gets worse as the Civil Service et al get ever larger, stronger and move further to the Left.
November 6, 2025
Ministers are incapable, but would anyone else from our political class do any better? Our bureacracy runs the show while the here-today-join a quango-tomorrow politicians are leaders in name only. The bureacracy looks after itself and aligns with globalist technocrats.
Short of a revolution – which don’t often end well – I can’t see how we can get real change. More likely is the continued evil-nanny erosion of our freedoms and the evil auntie propogandising, to ensure that we will own nothing and think ourselves “happy”.
November 6, 2025
Too many ministers live on the benefits of office while increasing the costs to taxpayers.
They behave less like managers and more like scroungers.
November 6, 2025
@Bloke +1 got it in one ‘the House of Freeloaders’
November 6, 2025
Most of these Ministers have only run for election. They have no experience of running anything else.
November 6, 2025
Cynic
Indeed they think managing is just a simple task of giving out orders, and that is enough for the magic to happen.
They do not have a clue about what real management is at all !
Giving out orders is a piece of cake, getting it understood and carried out, whilst keeping everyone on board is the real skill.
November 6, 2025
How many more months have to go by before Labour stops saying everything is the fault of the ‘Last Tory Government’ !
Labour is in charge now, and they have made things worse. They think by calling the last Government names, they can deflect from their own mistakes. Hopefully the general public can see right through it. David Lammy yesterday at PMQs, was an example. Shouting and blustering when he was asked a simple question. In my opinion, he is totally unsuited to his position.
November 6, 2025
David Lammy lacks basic intelligence, thinking Henry VII succeeded Henry VIII, that Marie Curie was Marie Antionette and the Bastille in Paris was the Palace of Versailles. In the absence of Keir Starmer, another xxx is David Lammy anywhere near the level relevant to being Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?
November 6, 2025
You ask…..why do they do things that make matters worse.
Short answer is because they’re following UN/WEF playbook rules. Making the country ungovernable and bankrupting it ready for the great reset.
The civil service is infested with anti British staff who undermine parliament at every opportunity. Senior positions are held by people with allegiance to other cultures
Cultures that are still medieval in their philosophy towards women and the alphabet brigade, which funnily never get taken to task by our very vocal feminist cohort.
This country is being destroyed at breakneck speed by the most anti British scum in Westminster I’ve ever come across.
November 6, 2025
Labour’s argument is that it is not Lammy’s fault because he wasn’t the actual person who released the prisoners. They have come rather late to this view after demanding resignations from the previous government every time something went wrong. Interested to see there are hundreds of wrongful releases each year (and they have doubled while Labour have been in charge).
We need a new Commons Speaker too – why was Lammy repeatedly allowed to not answer a simple questions ?
November 6, 2025
Roy
Your comment about the Speaker is spot on, for decades now we have had deliberate procrastination, bluster, evasion, and simple lies, What is the point of question time if you are never going to get an answer.
November 6, 2025
Your point is fair enough but how many of the questions are asked for the purpose of obtaining an answer rather than making a contribution to the theatre and spectacle that PMQ’s descended into post being televised?
November 6, 2025
It should be ‘answer the question or sit down. Which is it to be ?’
November 6, 2025
Agree – the whole of PMQs is a waste of time …..its just another jolly, more time not doing real work
November 6, 2025
“Ministers need some training on how to do these demanding jobs.” Very true, but neither the Civil Service nor the universities could be trusted with the job these days.
Perhaps our host should write a short book on how to be a Minister. No one would do it better.
November 6, 2025
The parties must provide the training.
November 6, 2025
Yesterday at PMQs, David Lammy lost his temper at the despatch box. For a senior minister of state to do so is unprofessional, regardless of the “justification” and shows a lack of control
It’s tough at the top (or near the top) and when you are earning the salary, enjoying the taxpayer-funded large car – with driver – and having a nice grace-and-favour house to live in, you have to take the rough with the smooth
The rest of the world, viewing Lammy’s performance yesterday, will not have been impressed.
Reply Lammy is a Secretary of State, not a Minister of State. He is also Deputy PM so he needs to be ready to answer anything about the conduct of government.
November 6, 2025
Training is certainly needed and the obvious courses would be based on those given to senior civil servants. However, the entirety of public officialdom has been infected with Wokery and socialism. What is needed is not so much training but total change management, which would, of course, involve some training. It would also mean those who can’t or won’t change should be ‘let go’.
So who could design and deliver such change and training? Certainly not civil servants. Perhaps a team from the private sector and representing each sector and comprising individuals who have experience on the receiving end of public services, including the judiciary.
November 6, 2025
These are socialist ideologues here. They don’t need training, they need purging from their folly.
November 6, 2025
What happens to those who fail? You have to train before they are elected.
November 6, 2025
I think the whole issue of ‘accidental release’ of high profile prisoners, is just indicative of things no longer working.
You could say with such a big organisation such things will happen and it’s a rarity here. Nothing is 100% proof, but to lose two in such a short space of time, is that just the law of averages, bad luck or a sign of a crumbling state.
When the primary focus of our institutions becomes about politics/ideologies in the form of more people employed by the state, more red tape, more DEI, word salad rules and regulations that employees struggle to understand, and yes employees with basic English, it’s not going to end well.
I say this because my friend’s Brother is a Prison Officer of many years standing. He’s desperate to leave the service because of all those things above.
Not least having a Diversity Officer spying on them in their breaks to ensure they don’t use words/phrases she doesn’t like. Everyone is on edge.
That shouldn’t facilitate failures in the system it’s true, but it doesn’t help morale or sense of trust at work either.
Reading around I’m given to believe other long standing Prison Officers see changes for the worse not better.
Isn’t this true of most of our public services now.
With a bunch of student activists, and lower middle management at best types running everything now, I can’t see things getting better.
Still, Labour can always blame Brexit, the ‘far right’, lack of ‘diversity and equality’, Tory benefit cuts, and of course Mr Farage. The public will lap it up.
November 6, 2025
Surely the governor of the prison has a warrant for each prisoner under his watch. If he releases a prisoner contrary to the warrant, shouldn’t he be charged with an offence?
One of the mistakenly released prisoners was Billy Smith, so they can’t claim a mix up because of similar sounding foreign names.
November 6, 2025
@Dave Andrews. Don’t charge the govenor, have it in his contract that he’ll have to serve the remainder of the sentence of any prisoner accidentally released.
November 6, 2025
The Red half of the Uniparty failing as did the Blue half. Lord we need a General election.

All.
November 6, 2025
We need Ministers with experience of top management running large corporations. The current set are not capable of running the country. The last Conservative Government was just as bad.
Recent experience suggests that the country gets no value from Opposition Parties. Labour spent 10 years on the opposition benches, but now in power they claim that they didn’t know what was going on, if this was so, then they were not in an informed position to produce an election manifesto. There are no signs that the current Conservative opposition is any better.
It is certain that the country does need significant Productivity improvements, this is now a matter of National Survival, at the same time we must have a Defence capability sufficient to deter Russian aggression and the civil infrastructure to withstand the impact of both war and the consequences of the climate change that is already upon us. As a country, we are ill prepared for both.
I don’t think that either the UK Government or Parliament is up to these tasks.
November 6, 2025
@James Morley – the so-called ‘Party’ system puts the gang leader front and centre, they choose who you can vote for not because they are any good at anything but because of the loyalty to them the ‘gang boss’. Those that cant be found a seat in parliament get to run the Quangos while they sit in waiting. It wont change until the only people choosing who even stands in an election is the electorate they wish to represent, with the added bit that all the election funding for candidate must come from within that same community.
November 6, 2025
So join and change that.
November 6, 2025
Sir John you started well trying to keep unbiased re-Party in government. However you strayed and then flayed the existing incompetent Ministers. Would you care to indicate your view on the merry-go-round we witnessed of changing seats in the previous 14 of governments? Mostly they had no experience either but sacking would be a weak point – shuffling is less painful.
Reply Last government mistakes were fully aired and discussed on this site at the time, as this government’s will now be. Under a Conservative government I rarely talked about the Opposition.

@Reply – in the context to today’s discussion. ‘own their problems’ The concept of owning what you say or do has been now set in concrete – you don’t need to. The previous crowd refused, even now today they wish to return to their form of continuation and continuity without first owning what a failure that was and they where – so why should anyone else. They demonstrated what owning, managing and responsibility is. As we see with most things enacted by the zealots and ideologues now in office, they have the advantage of the doors being left completely open by incompetence and malaise, instead of being firmly bolted down and removed.
November 6, 2025
Own the responsibilities? How do these people even able to dress themselves in the morning.
On instagram – david.lammy (5.nov.2025)
“Proud to be the first Black person to answer at Prime Minister’s Questions.”
Except he didn’t answer the questions.
Also .. Diane Abbot was the first black person to answer at PMQs in October 2019 standing in for Jeremy Corbyn.
So either he is lying or incompetent – He is simply not fit to hold any public office let alone a Secretary of State.
The incompetence of the current crop of ministers and government office holders is simply breathtaking, they must be acting as meat shields
– so who are the hidden actors pulling the strings of these stupid and unpleasant people in government?
November 6, 2025
If Abbot was standing in for Corbyn she would have been asking questions rather than answering so Lammy was correct if a more rigorous definition is applied.
November 6, 2025
Funny how Lammy can speak of ‘black people’ without censure.
November 6, 2025
If we had better media then the scrutiny would show them in an even poorer light.
Guido Fawkes recently picked up the fiasco of NHS England but I can only find one mention of it on the BBC in a relegated story from May 2025.
So many press releases are hot air without any action!
We need the media to follow up, especially the BBC!
November 6, 2025
Good luck with that!
November 6, 2025
As if this is a Labour problem. Previous Tories no different. Dominic Cummings an interesting read on this particular subject.

November 6, 2025
Sir John, the lack of capability and lack of ministerial decorum is in evidence across the whole administration. Perhaps yesterday’s PMQs sums things up. David Lammy was standing in for an absent Kier Starmer who thinks attending an inconsequential COP 30 meeting with 75,000 other attendees. is more important than addressing his parliament’s questions?
The example of ministerial folly does not stop at Starmer’s globe trotting habit.
When Lammy was asked to step up and represent his boss at PMQs he was minded to mark the occasion by purchasing a brand new suit, which was noble of him wanting to look well presented.
His concern for appearance didn’t go as far as thinking about the remembrance protocol expected of all officials at this point in the year. He didn’t wear a simple poppy.
His lack of respect for those who defended us in times of war, says everything about his sense of priorities.
Maybe he was thinking about the court case against an Italian taxi driver he had just lost in France?
November 6, 2025
‘inconsequential COP 30’ …..we’re about to agree to spending even more £billions on net-zero; remember we’re leading the world
November 6, 2025
Yes, we are continuing to spend sorry make that waste £billions on projects and policies that are completely inconsequential to climate control or change.
November 6, 2025
I watched Lammy at the despatch box yesterday and was appalled. How anyone could have appointed such a person first as Foreign Secretary, and then, probably to sweeten the pill of apparent demotion, made him Deputy Prime Minister, beggars belief. It is just as much a reflection on the ability of the Prime Minister himself as it is on that of his deputy.
I am not sure if potential Government ministers ever go through any formal course of training, but what is clearly apparent about this Government is that its members seem to have given no thought at all during their long period of opposition about what would be the best policies for them to adopt when they came to power, in the context of the, admittedly less than perfect, situation they found when taking office.
November 6, 2025
How did he become a Candidate? Let’s start at the begining.
November 6, 2025
I’m against any formal training of ministers, they’re are either good or bad at their appointed position and should either be sacked or allowed to continue …..otherwise the next logical step is that all MPs need an academic degree and further professional qualifications
November 6, 2025
The government has not become a government it remains a second rate opposition party
Lammy needs a warning misleading Parliament
November 6, 2025
Misleading Parliament is a sacking/resigning issue.
November 6, 2025
We shouldn’t forget that this is a very socialist labour government – everything seems to fit when we recognize this.
When did socialists ever get anything right?
By nature they are destructive – just look at the things they have broken!

The Party of the welfare scrounger, public sector parasite and bogus asylum seeker surely was always set to provide for “increasing prices and costs, removing past attempts to cut ilegal migration, cutting sentences that have to be served, giving more money without seeing what it will buy, hitting business, entrepreneurs and savers with penal taxes”.
November 6, 2025
I heard on the radio last night that these two were released because they arrived from court without the correct paperwork so couldn’t be incarcerated rather than because the wrong people were released.
This is just as bad but easily rectified by a simple piece of legislation that those arriving at prison from court can be held forc24 more hours while paperwork is sorted.
Prison should work. That it doesn’t us down to human rights. It should be inconvenient and unpleasant.
November 6, 2025
David Lammy at PM’s questions yesterday showed just how ignorant and stupid he is. How can such a limited individual be in a position of responsibility? But he is not the only one; it seems the entire Cabinet is full of people who are limited, ineffective and unqualified for their jobs.\
To put something right, you first have to admit something is wrong. Look at the Chancellor’s waffle, three weeks before the budget. Reeves is so far out of her depth that she will end up drowning! How pathetic of Starmer to go to COP 30, when he lacks the intelligence to research GW/CC and know that it is natural, has been going on for thousands of years, and CO2 is not a problem. But he backs Ed Lunyband all the way to bankrupt the UK.
This Labour Government is an utter shambles.
November 6, 2025
Keith, I agree with all of your points but let’s remember what went before them.
We would be hard pushed to find any one in the previous government who inspired confidence or was regarded with anything other than contempt by the wider public. The period from 2016 onward once Theresa May took charge will go down in Parliamentary history as the most divisive and damaging yet encountered. This latest lot of incompetents are the civil services dream team. They know nothing and openly state we rely on the experts? Well good luck with that Rachel because the OBR you praise so often has never been right on any economic projection ever….

‘Ministers should own their problems’ Why?
There was a time now in History that inexactitudes were the exclusive realm of politicians, today seemingly they now just hide behind lies or anything else to hand. The point to be made is our young our future are being led, no being taught by example to believe that shirking and lying is OK, not just tolerated but a ‘thing’.
MPs protected by the systems of parliament have evolved to just lying, because parliament won’t hold them to account and the UK courts are not allowed to touch them because of parliamentary privilege.
They (MPs) get away with things that normal humans can’t, neglect of duty, freeloading just leads to a shrug of the shoulders and all failures are just one of those things. ‘It was someone else’ ‘I think I am not sure’’ I don’t think things through and don’t care’, I have been empowered and paid by my electorate so they should get out of my face and let me relax. Parliament, its chosen Government, its Ministers are setting examples that have filtered into mainstream life.
The greater population, our young are having failure being a choice, not a learning trait foisted on them by those that are said to lead!
November 6, 2025
The Conservative movement was a magnificent organisation. It included the Party of course, but The Centre for Policy Studies and the IEA thrashed out detailed argument to tackle the real time problems. The Conservative Party did not control (curtail) them and the Government could draw on them, including being told unpleasant truths.
There was also the Bow Group where the young tested each other’s argument to destruction IN PRIVATE. They all learned and honed their politics. Bow Group Papers remain a good source of definitive Conservatism. They also revealed their writer’s ‘natural instinct’ politically.
You can’t even begin to work out how to manage a Department, or even an MP’s Office, until you know what you want to achieve when you are there. Anyone who could not make a mark in the Bow Group (I think Sir John was promoted so young that he was never a member, but I may be wrong) did not need to develop the other critical skills to run a Council or Government Department.
In addition of course, conservative volunteers (like my husband and me) ran programmes which large numbers of people attended, with speakers from around the world, to constantly inform and hone the political ‘nouse’ of the party. Our twice annually Oxford Conferences over 15 years were addressed by the most learned people across the spectrum, nobody was ‘silenced’ in those days, and the sophisticated audience made the question time fascinating.
None of the parties now have people who work for much more than a salary, people who work to make their own politics strong and vibrant and electable. We volunteers backed our own politics by selected the best they could find and working to get that person elected. We put in our own time and our own money. A friend, mortgaged her London house to print and distribute the work of Enoch Powell in the battle against entering the Common Market.
If politics can’t inspire that sort of person to do that sort of work free of charge, I can’t see how democracy can fail to be reduced to the farce that it has become particularly in the USA where unidentified people in New York were able to vote as many times as they liked. There are no canvassers which voters rolls and an idea of what the vote and numbers should be, no tellers at the polling stations, no scrutineers at the count, no unpaid, dedicated party members which kept the whole enterprise honest, trusted and totally above suspicion. Moreover, governments stuck to their manifesto pledges because their army of volunteers and voters KNEW WHAT IT WAS…
Reply I did go to some Bow Group meetings but led the rethink from the CPS in the 1970s for Thatcher/Joseph with Alfred Sherman as Head of the think tank.

“Ministers need some training on how to do these demanding jobs” – yes truly yes. The only caveat is they have massive Civil Servant departments behind them, that they personally manage. If the advice they get is consistently wrong, you still have a problem, is it the advice or its interpretation and the it begs the question with regards the Ministers and PM’s management ability – they are in charge of the hiring and the firing.
Within these scenarios you cant leave out the ability of those MPs that sit in Parliament. They are their to ensure their electorate is represented and as such is getting value for money from the State, as such they need the ability to manage and hold the execrative to account. From the outside looking in we have to many ‘freeloaders’ just meekly taking orders from their Gang Bosses.
Although on of the contradictions is that those acting as Ministers now no longer refer to their Civil Servants for advice but do as ordered by an unelected, unaccountable Marxist think tank who now appear to have infiltrated every government department and actually run the Cabinet and the PM. It can only end in tears.
Democracy is a thing a thing to be treasured and fought for. A Parliament hellbent on fighting the people, the electorate has no place in the UK. The electorate hopefully will force those that wish to work with the Nation and its People back into a parliament we can all be proud of
November 6, 2025

I’m worried about the democratic deficient in incompetent and ineffective MPs relaying on unelected civil service and the big machinery og government to hide mistakes.
But they are nothing compared to mayors attending C40 world mayor summit and the unelected universities, governments without a mandate and their bureaucratic teams attending Cop30, both in Brazil
The point of both is the implementation (not debate) of net-zero and 15 minute cities and how to raise tax to achieve their goals
This is scarier that ministers unable to manage their brief; at least we can sack them after 5 years

November 6, 2025
We’ve got a Didn’t Earn It (DEI) Government of people selected on a tick-box basis. None of them have ever created and run a business. The vast majority have never even worked in the private sector. Most of them have very limited experience gained in the public sector; Socialist “think tanks;” charities” which rely on taxpayer funding or Trade Unions.
They are way out of their depth. They couldn’t successfully run a party in a brewery: they’d tax and regulate it out of existence before the first guest arrived.
