The usual answer to this question is – "None if the Light Bulb doesn't want to be changed".

Not unless it's being changed in somewhere like an NHS building when it would take a team of electricians, plus an 'Elf & Safety person too! That's why the cost of maintenance in the NHS is so excessive, so I've heard!

Re: The Problem with the Civil Service.

I see that Treason May was spouting in parliament about the sacking of Mark Sedwell and the appointment of David Frost to security adviser, looking daggers, and scowling at Michael Gove. The implication being that Frost has no experience in the role when in fact he was in the Foreign Office in years gone by.

May has got a bit of a nerve, hasn't she?
She's been our most ineffective HS and PM that I ever remember, and here she is criticising others.

Two possibilities occur to me:

either she regards Sedwell as a friend who worked with her to keep us in the EU;

or she's jealous of the success of Boris, Frost and Gove compared to her failure.

I would say yes and yes.
