Yup. But I would say it's not just Parliament. It's business. It's life.

The second you give a definitive answer, you nail your colours to the mast.

There's no going back from that. People will hold you to account.

And if the situation changes, you now have no wiggle-room to change your mind. You've painted yourself in to a corner, and that's not a good place to be.

Flexibility and adaptability are keys to hominid survival.

Spot on. An ops meeting I was on a call with on Friday morning. Literally, no one on the call including myself was prepared to ask and highlight an obvious problem. For fear of being shot down or lumbered. Business never learns from its managerial mistakes as does politics won't admit to there's. Looking forward to the Monday morning iceberg and watching the chaos unfold from a safe distance.

You mean PMQs would be more useful if the PM actually answered any Qs

That is a bit radical!!

Seriously though…. Too much theatre for my liking

I've learned from managing others that no one wants to take ownership of flagging a problem. That's in part from previous poor management who adopted a "you called it, you deal with it" mentality. That engenders a fear of speaking out. It's absolutely the worst thing a good manager wants.

A good manager should be pre-empting the problems, and proactively asking their team, "Have you seen this ? Or anything like that ? Any other issues?"

And then when told, deal with the issue. That may mean allocating it to a member of their team; the one most suited to resolve it, not necessarily the one who called it.

I hope your meeting goes well.

That's pretty much what it's always been like since as far back as at least David Cameron. After playing their little point scoring games they all retire to the same bars and laugh and joke about things. Smoke and mirrors to make us think we get to see how things work.
