All The Talents

Newsnight went bananas about Gordon Brown's "Government of all the talents" including the Liberal Democrats. It has now become clear why the BBC is campaigning for Margaret Beckett to be sacked. It is not just her Euroscepticism, although there is that, especially given that all three even potential candidates for the Labour Leadership are Eurosceptics, as are several of the candidates for Deputy Leader. But even beyond that, it is because the Beeb has decided that Sir Menzies Campbell should become Foreign Secretary. And who will Brown be to argue? Only the Prime Minister, that's all: no one at all compared to the BBC.
