I am saying that I have seen her perform well in front of difficult interviewers, Andrew Neill for one. She's good when she has a decent brief and a sensible platform but she often takes the field when no one else will. Johnson when interviewed quite gently by Neill was reduced to a pathetic shambles. She's smart and will do better when Labour has worked out what it wants to say and where it wants to be seen on the tax and spend fault line. I'm not sure what you mean by looking the part.
Simple question from Ridge
In 2019, you called for an increase in corporation tax.
If Sunak announces a rise in corporation tax this week, will you vote for it.
Dodds - well, we’ll see what it means
Ridge - pretty simple to answer. Would you vote for something you personally called for.
Dodds- well we’ll see what it all means ... and so on .
Lack of credibility in my opinion
You defend her if you want, but at sometime, Labour is going to come off that fence or will be in perpetual opposition.
Still, it fills ten minutes of a news program
