    Funny that. Isn't she married to a Tory MP like Dido and, similarly, got no experience in what she's being handed cash to sort out (or not sort out as is the case).

    Any chance this can be investigated?

    Yep, she is married to Tory MP Jesse Norman aka "bland nobody".
    She is a biochemist so much more qualified than Dido Harding (to be fair, that ain't much of a bar to leap over).

    But currently a venture capitalist. Surely there are more qualified.

    What is this about SV Health Investors having shareholdings in a company currently involved in antibody drug development? If this were a fish it would be Mr Fishy McFishface of Old Fishy Town.

    In a UK where telling porkies about clandestine meetings with foreign government officials qualifies you as Home Secretary and being the son of a KGB connected Russian oligarch lands you in the HoL that doesn't seem like enough to bring her down...

    Sadly, a very fair point.

    Oh, no need to worry about that. I'm sure it was a simple oversight, and nothing underhand, like, maybe... contracts going to family members and business partners of sitting ministers.

    Has anyone else noticed it's Friday 13th? In 2020?

    I am covering myself in wards and talismans.

    I hadn't actually.

    Maybe 2020 is running in an opposite direction this year and today will be a lucky day?

    I like your optimism. I'll buy an extra Lottery ticket in that case.

    He never needed to self-isolate for that in the past... he usually just went on holiday.
