Blimey. Hardly an unblemished career.

The obsequious toadying going on at the press event was dire, she was described as modest, unassuming, liked by all; I was disappointed someone didn't describe her as a promising footballer. The mayor's waffling was particularly risible. You don't get to be commissioner of the met by being modest or unassuming; ambition, experience, competence and good luck are more likely attributes.
