I have some advice for BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE. I have previously said it in simpler terms but I will try again and hope that she could get the picture ...

The truth is that I don't plan to waste the NEXT THREE YEARS watching TEAM REBUILD flounder administratively but spend hours POSING and making speeches to the media
