She didn't deny that she was a spy!

I'm seriously enjoying the new Newsnight format. It's so fresh and irreverent. Not the same old tired faces. Well done - At last ! There, I just praised the BBC !

Grow up

Her power level is over 9,000

[@agbook2007]

Why the location and distance of the interviewer and interviewee? It’s about as unusual as the shift of the civil servant to pub owner.

[@BeardLAD]

Compositional emphasis, which you brought to front

[@edmundironside9435]

Maybe social distancing.

She's one to watch, in both senses.

[@Jesus420.69]

I don’t support the tories. But it’s mental that we the voting public are supposed to believe that she could be a impartial civil servant making or breaking a Tory premiership then working for the Labour Party months later

[@clivet3252]

Yep it totally stinks but somehow it's okay when it's Labour

[@eatpraybrightboquet]

The Tories have the exact same kind of people

@@mildlydispleased3221 Well explain then? Why should a person who has not been elected by anyone have so much power?

[@Missydee-72]

She’s taken over and it feels like a coup. If you dare disagree she and her minion (Starmer) will have you arrested and flung into jail. Releasing convicted felons to make space and allowing criminals into the UK them housing them and giving them the money stolen from the pensioners!

[@Missydee-72]

She’s refusing appointed ministers access to two faced Starmer and pushing out staff who dare have different views. A terrorist sympathiser who hates the electorate. Is Starmer to weak to oust her or was he in on the plot?

[@grimsbyhackney479]

@@user-qo8ci2ye6v She doesn't have power. She is an adviser. The people who do have power can either take her advice or not take her advice. All of that is irrespective of whether you agree with her or not.

She’s quite bitter about her husband and leadership positions she did not get. I hope that as a publican, she can exercise good ethics and advise others better than in her former job advising the government on ethics.

[@papi8659]

She's a genius , brought down Boris the clown, In many ways the successful person that Dominic Cummings could never be.

[@homemaintenance1234]

By ‘genius’ I expect you mean totalitarian? You being a Leftist and all.

[@user-qo8ci2ye6v]

Do you support democracy? One day some unelected mandarin will bring down someone you support, I wonder how you would feel then? You will not be using words like genius or successful. Instead, it will be despot or tyrant.

[@user-qo8ci2ye6v]

Boris was voted in by an electorate, Gray was given a job without any vote by the British public. Genius indeed. Stalin would be proud

[@edmundironside9435]

A genius? Could you qualify that please?

Yes brought down Boris and paved the way for Starmer who she then started working for. Not only is that corrupt but Starmer is far worse than Boris.
