agchristie...I fear that I may still not be making myself clear !
She is a Government Minister and thus a Member of the Cabinet. She would have been party to the elements that Osborne and Dave presented to the HOC. But her performance on QT quite clearly showed, that, like the rest of us, she hadn't understood the implications of the proposals for disabled people in the Budget, and indeed, she thought that they were only "proposals, " not actually policy.
She appeared on the program, as a representative of the Tory Party, and the Government. It was an entirely understandable expectation of all of us, that she should have understood what the Budget proposals meant, but it was clear, within seconds, that she didn't.
This was a lamentable performance. She wasn't just some multi-purpose Tory person, plucked from the local Tory Womens Guild...she was a senior member of the Cabinet.
I take it that you have watched that episode of QT, or at least an extract ?
