To be fair Sooty, neither you nor I have heard of her but there will be many who have, and also who have a better knowledge of what is required in the role and therefore whether she is a good fit.
But I agree re advisers - I tend to think of many of the top MPs (Cabinet) as really just being mouthpieces and they have gofers to do the real grunt work. I suppose they also set the agenda (as far as Sir Humphrey allows!!).
