A brief CV of this adept and not at all sycophantic supporter of the Surgical, the cigar-chomping Secretary of State for Health.
Born (1971) in Liverpool she is, of course, educated at selective schools and then Oxford. So she has academic smarts.
She has a PhD - chemistry (UCL 1998) - and worked for Mars, but in finance not making delicious chocolate dildoes.
She stood unsuccessfully for various seats between 2004 and 2010, when she was finally elected, replacing John Selwyn 'eat your burger' Gummer.
She defended Rebekah Brooks in the phone hacking scandal.
She refused (at DCMS) to condemn Murdoch.
She voted against marriage equality (2013)
She proposed that pensioners should pay National Insurance (2015)
She supported selling off nationally-owned forestry land.
She was criticised for accepting hospitality worth £890 from Ladbrokes after supporting the gambling industry in Parliament as part of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee (2018) - venal but cheap.
She criticised Marcus Rashford (then changed tack after a backlash)
She supported Bunter over partygate accusations, amid allegations that her own department had partied during lockdown.
She called for mental health assessments for those seeking abortion in 2010
She voted against extending abortion rights to Northern Ireland (and made clear her opposition to abortion citing her Catholicism).
She supported Bunter in the Pincher Affairs Affair. Misled parliament.
She was campaign manager for Surgical.
I looked for her actual achievements but couldn't find any.

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.
