Title: Someone should tell Caroline Flint
Post by: STMO123 on 05 June 2009, 20:36:07
She said she was leaving the cabinet because Gordon Brown was treating her like 'window dressing'. This phrase implies something attractive when she has, in fact, got a face like a burst wellie.

That is not to say that I wouldn't give her one. But, sadly, that is no recommendation :(

Ms Flint was actually complaining that the Cabinet is split into two factions; the inner, favoured, circle that meet regularly, and those that rarely are invited to feel an important part of the Cabinet, being purely "female window dressing". 

In other words women are only there so Brown can claim to have women in his Cabinet, but to not fully involve them. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)  She also claimed the last Cabinet meeting she was invited to was in October 2008. :o :o

Perhaps we could ask why he made exceptions with Blears and Smith if this 'rule' is fact, adding it is a shame he did!! ::) ::) ::)

.....perhaps the window dressing referred to Ms Flint's portfolio, and the lack of it's perceived relevance for cabinet attention Ms Zoom? :-/

But now Brown has filled her position as Minister of Europe with Glenys Kinnock, no light weight these days in Europe.  If this is a continuing attempt by the PM to convince people he does care about Europe, when he doesn't, why leave any minister on the sidelines. He won't be able to do that with Glenys!! ::) ::) :D :D ;)
