Shadow Defence Secretary
Watching the defence debate in the House today and thought I would look up the profile of the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nia_Griffith Can anyone a reassure me that she is perfect for the post. Otherwise I think I am losing the will to live. God help our armed forces if Labour win the next election.

I’ve watched a lot of European cinema too but probably not the same kind....... |
To be honest, no real difference to many other previous Defence/Shadow Defence Secreatries that had no real prior Defence expertise or interest. (George Robertson springs to mind
|
What's the problem? She seems as bad as all the others.... I haven;t googled the list but name ONE decent UK Defence Secretary in the last 20+ years? Recently they've changed them every 6 months.......
Probably Healey was the last "Big" beast in the job altho friends of mine in Whitehall reckon that Portillo wasn't bad it's not important in Cabinet, the incumbent is trapped between the Daily Mail & the Telegraph and the Treasury and any decent news is stolen by #10 |
She can spell as she was teacher
She can speak lots of Languages She was rapped over her MP expenses (twice) Divorced and now a lesbian |

Why just tae shadow defence secretary?
From what I read, i'm not sure there are any decent MPs in the UK. Their referendum in 2016 was clear enough - Leave the EU. The way the MPs are acting I wonder if anyone would bother to vote again. |
She'll know all about LGBs, then, but not the exploding kind.....

Who is or is not Defence Secretary in the event of a Labour government is surely completely irrelevant. We will have a Prime Minister who has stated that while he is in favour of keeping the Trident boats, he would not authorise the use of nuclear weapons, thus making their whole raison d'etre completely pointless and at at one stroke removing the UK from the "top table". Some may argue that would be a good thing, and that we no longer need to be a nuclear power, but if that is going to be the case let's scrap the subs and save the country umpty ump billions, not keep them on to appease the unions in the defence industries, which seems to be Corbyn's plan.

Well look on the bright side, Corbyn at least has one person doing the job. Unlike the Scottish idiot who thought it might be a useful secondary duty for the Scottish Secretary to pick up. Doesn’t change the fact that when I look at the photo on a Wiki, I think of my grandmother rather than one of the potentially most powerful females in the country, and have an overwhelming urge to sit her down in front of an afternoon show on the Drama channel and bring her a cup of tea rather than asking her to authorise military ops. Of course, things could all change and by the end of the month Corbyn might be PM and she might be retitled Secretary of State for Peace and we can all go off to be re-trained in how to listen and understand terrorists. |
I would sack her photographer, that photo makes her look like one of the muppets, she is probably charming, but that picture does her no justice. One of her main political interests is tackling climate change, that does not exactly sit well with having ones finger on the button. |
Who.......?

Well of course history shows we almost always finish up talking and negotiating with terrorists on a political level so that's a good plan |
+1 to TTNs post. Having a clueless defence secretary would be the least of our problems. |
For all of the individuals lack of qualifications, I don't really think that being a lesbian should be pointed out as a reason why the individual can't do the job.
That is unless you live under a rock. |

Excellent! :D
