As usual with the rule of clickbait headlines, the answer is NO.

@KimSJ

Indeed, the headline is clickbait

But the article goes well overboard to make the (likely) new boss sound wonderful. Even people who worked for him, think he's a great pick.

Criticism is buried much lower in the story and cursory.

Very disappointing and typical of Tory-era #BBCNews
