I have heard that Karen Buck MP, Minister for Planes in the Department for Transport, has resigned. Something to do with her portfolio not suiting her interests.
Having watched the mauling the Minister got from Ms Dunwoody at the recent Transport Select Committee hearing into the CAA, we should be grateful. But who will replace her??

Does anybody know if any of the Labour types have a flying licence? If not, how about any professional involvement with aviation? Or even a personal interest in aviation? (not including the personal wishes of some quarters who rub their hands with glee while thinking up new ways to tax the remaining life out of General Aviation). And I don’t meen a loose connection such as the DPM’s connection with transport i.e. used to push a trolley around a cross- channel ferry.
P.S. This comment in no way is meant to be demeaning to those wonderfull, professional stewards who do so much to assist cross-channel travellers.

Planes? HM Government messing round with carpentry are they? 😉
I saw that meeting online. Who? Probably no one we have ever heard of!
