She can apply for any job she likes - or none as a mandarin hanging around the Civil Service at the Director General grade is in line for a not insubstantial pension in any case.
If Starmer wants to go ahead and give up an easy attack line to recruit someone who hasn’t actually held the top job at any Department that’s his prerogative. Just as it’s others whether or not they offer my opinion that it’s a mistake.
Elections are rarely won or lost because the masses congregate around a single thing and there’s undoubtedly political risk with this appointment. Too many mistakes and Starmer might find himself learning auf weidersehen, pet in Polish himself.
