Cabinet drop-out

摘要

Agood teacher, but a dunce at top-level politics. Critics had plenty to say about Estelle Morris, the increasingly forlorn-looking education minister who resigned on October 23rd. Her own verdict on her performance was even harsher. It was, she said, "not quite good enough". It would have been much better had she remained as junior minister for schools, for which she was better suited. Hard-working, decent and experienced, she could criticise the prickly teaching profession more effectively than others.
