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.

Just 51 years old. Proof, if ever was needed, that Roald Dahl's theory of good and bad thoughts influencing looks was bang on the money.

More from the woke right.

Apart from the fact that Clarke stood down as Health Secretary in 1990 (and there was some comment at the time), and that he's smartly dressed while she looks like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards, these images and their context are indeed identical. Must be that lefties are the real sexists.

The New Health Secretary wants everyone to look like her

The Sun are trying to present the move as an overall of the nanny state, in reality it looks like the Tory Party trying to win back all the companies in the food and industry that used to donate to the party. Presumably with all the Russian donations drying up they are desperate to get donations from elsewhere.

From the Mirror.
sources told the Guardian that the review was focused on “deregulation” after Liz Truss hit out at junk food taxes in her Tory leadership campaign.

She said in a newspaper interview: "Those taxes are over.

“Talking about whether or not somebody should buy a two-for-one offer? No. There is definitely enough of that."

She added Brits “don’t want the government telling them what to eat”.

Christopher Snowdon of free market think tank the Institute of Economic Affairs said: “Scrapping policies that make food and drink more expensive during a cost of living crisis is a no-brainer. The sugar tax has achieved nothing and the ban on volume price discounts will hurt everybody."
How does the price signal work? Do these restrictions reduce consumption or not?
