Margaret Beckett

[jrtv]

Do you think Air Miles Beckett is going to make a good Foreign Secretary or has she been given the job to justify the 100,000 miles she does on " ministerial business " and is out there visiting anyway ?

I don't like the woman, but she's a good politician, and she just may make the grade, we can only wait and see.

Hear hear!

Give her chance.

More relevant is the question of why Jack Straw had to go.

[jrtv]

Straw was out of his depth, just look at his responce towards Iran over it's nuclear program, he was useless

Im conservative with a big C

she's the only Labour MP who scares me. God help us (tory voters) if she ever runs for leadership of her party, we'll be in the political wilderness forevermore if that happens. Thank goodness she's too intelligent for the rank and file party supporters to take her seriously
