I am decidedly fearful that David Pannick may be right about the eventual impact: while I was never a huge fan of having a Lawyer in the cabinet, I don't buy his 'seat at the top table' argument. But I do fear that, as usual, NeoLabour has thrown out a functional system that needed some improving and replaced it with something broken by non-design for no more reason than to say "we have done something new". Fucking whoopee. I’m afraid this reform flew by me while I was looking the other way .

(Although there, at least, it still does what it says on the bottle.)
