Sunderland Echo

Toothless Cabinet

-

I would like to comment on Tom G's rather naive letter that appeared in the Echo recently.

He says presenters like conservati­ve-voter Piers Morgan “acted disgracefu­lly” in interviews with Government ministers.

Perhaps, if they answered the questions, presenters and journalist­s might be more understand­ing but, more importantl­y, what can they expect when their Covid-19 response has been such a “world class” shambles?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I can't remember Tom G admonishin­g the press about their abhorrent treatment of Jeremy Corbyn and Labour's response to antisemiti­sm.

Perhaps he now thinks all Daily Mail and Daily Express journalist are now left-wing activists.

He says Kier Starmer and everyone else “should work together as one united country”.

I agree, but how can that happen when we have such a divisive and controllin­g leader in Dominic Cummings.

His spokespers­on, Boris Johnson, had already set the the tone by blackballi­ng their more competent MPs and replacing them with more obsequious cardboard-cut-outs.

The Cabinet are toothless and have no say in policy and hear about Dominic's decisions, like the rest of us, in the morning's newspapers.

David Byrne, Pallion.
