    Her husband is a Tory MP, which is probably another coincidence or the same as you recommending your mate as a decent decorator.

    Probably not, no. Seems to happen an awful lot.

    I’m agreeing it’s probably not different. Just think firstly it doesn’t excuse the fact it keeps happening and secondly if it’s contributing to our inability to stop tens of thousands dying then it’s a bit more pertinent right now than in the past.

    Ok, sorry, misread your post. These connections happen. Adam Boulton/Anji Hunter. They're all in the same business. They're all "old boy network" stuff. The time to complain is if someone is appointed who is patently unqualified to do the work.

    From what I know of this one she’s patently unqualified to do the work.

    Yes, you may have a point. She was poor as CEO at Talk-Talk. She does currently have a position as chairperson of NHS Improvement. Hancock will expose himself to criticism if she doesn't perform well.

    A big risk given his stellar performance thus far.

    The left wing press may be having a go at him - I don't read it. It is an exceptionally difficult role. There will be an inquest into his performance in time. If he's followed majority scientific advice, he will have acted reasonably

    I’m not going to try and convince you otherwise.

    Agree, no point. Hancock and his boss will be judged by voters further down the line when some of the dust has settled

    Yes. I’m sure they’ll be thoroughly examined and judged fairly on their performance by our learned electorate.

    They’ll do their bit but but you can only do so much damage punching a brick wall.
