I don't think so. He strikes me as a WWI general, looking at troops as fodder for the enemy, just numbers to throw into the firing line. Lack of equipment, lack of support, hastily written sympathy letter. Saw him on the remembrance show on Saturday, he looked bored, like he couldn't wait to be elsewhere.

He is an accountant who should not have been allowed to make actual decisions on what money is spent, and especially where revenue is raised. -
I doubt that the evil snot goblin has any idea what is going on; he lost all contact with reality a long time ago.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

As regards his "hastily written sympathy letter", the guy just can't win. If he doesn't write (as George W. Bush never did), then he's accused of not caring. If he writes, but it's a typed letter that he signs, he's going to be accused of delegating it to someone else, and he probably didn't even sign it himself, etc. etc. If he writes a handwritten letter, then he's damned because his handwriting isn't neat. That's how he writes, though. It's not a lack of caring, or any less, it's how the guy writes, FFS.
As AtW says, he's an accountant... Sadly, that's not enough in the celebrity obsessed culture in which we find ourselves - people would rather have a vacuous smiley boy politician who doesn't have an opinion or a policy on anything (but can tell you what they won't do, rather than what they will) than someone who can't pull off a decent public appearnace and you tube video.Comment

A spelling mistake, to me it proves how rabid the media are these days to have a story to fill the 24 hours news channels in their ratings war. They will hype this up all day until the next minor thing comes along tomorrow.Comment

Secondly, he creates too much legislation, his legislation is overcomplicated, and it is woolly with too many loopholes. An accountant with real-world experience would not do this.
Lastly, he doesn't seem to understand the principle of balancing the books.Comment
