Does Therese Coffey really know nothing – apart from how to take donor cash?
Therese Coffey: not the best person to ask for a crackdown on smoking?
Therese Coffey proved her worthlessness as deputy prime minister in an interview with Kay Burley of Sky News.
Asked if the government was abandoning its target for building affordable homes, she said she didn’t know anything about it.
Burley then reminded her that, as deputy PM, she should:
#KayBurley: The government is talking about ditching targets for affordable homes… why?
Therese Coffey: I'm not aware of any of that… You'll have to ask Simon Clarke
KB: You're the Deputy Prime Minister

Meanwhile, the Guardian has claimed that Coffey, as Health Secretary, is ending plans for a campaign to crack down on smoking.
Could this be because she herself smokes and has accepted hospitality from the tobacco industry?
‘Thérèse Coffey to drop long-promised government plan to tackle smoking;’
‘The health secretary smokes, has previously accepted hospitality from the tobacco industry, and has voted against measures to restrict smoking.’

Coffey is the lowest of the low, which saying something, as the low would already have appeared it could get no lower, but Coffey has to be successful on something, as she is more than useless as any Minister as she has proved time and again.
