  This is ranked in 23,346th place of importance in current news.

In your opinion.  With the no deal Brexit imminent it is an important news item.

Do you think there would have been any less with Liam Fox?

There's a chance his chum, Adam Werritty, could be there to keep and eye on him...

The NeoLiberals will be over the moon.

Just checking you've got your terminology right. Neo Liberals are free-market capitalists on the right. Not really the same thing as Liberal Democrats or snowflake liberal lefties like what I am.

Probably a good job application to miss. The political and trade conflict between China and the USA is likely to be all consuming for the new boss. Feminine wiles rather than smart might just be a plus...

I note the BBC is reporting the bare minimum about Liam Fox not being on the list as WTO leader:-

Liam Fox: Tory MP out of WTO leader race as field narrows
Published6 minutes ago

Conservative MP Liam Fox has been knocked out of the contest to become the next director-general of the World Trade Organization.

The ex-cabinet minister was among three candidates who failed to make the final two, as the field narrowed further.

It leaves Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and South Korea's Yoo Myung-hee vying for the top job at the Geneva-based body.

The winner is expected to be announced next month.
