Beckett’s incompetence

Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett under saw one of the worst acts as a minister with the catastrophic introduction the new European Union single payments scheme for farmers the Commons environment, food and rural affairs committee “questioned her promotion to foreign secretary”. The words 'catastrophe', 'disaster', 'failure' and 'debacle' appear in the opening paragraphs of an official report it is clear just how bad the government's performance has been,

The lack of accountability in the department and the promotion of Beckett shows the government's contempt not only for accountability but for the farming community. Loyalty above competence seems to be driving principle of the government.
