All critics spot on as expected! Consider the career experience of the noble chap:

Held so many top level positions and had serious influence/experience all over the world.

He has had working relationships at all levels of power for lengthy periods of time.

He knows everybody that matters and, more importantly, many that do not.

Not flashy or given over to trumpet blowing.

Quiet demeanour and doesn’t tolerate blow-hards.

Respectable.

Oh, yes, and he finally closed the open door on EU.

In short, everything that the last one wasn’t, didn’t, or couldn’t.
