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.

Perhaps we could ask why he made exceptions with Blair's 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!!

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

the way i look at it is that when the light is turned off everything is braisle so looks dont matter,mind you a good imagination is also beneficial in strong cases
