Venture capitalist Kate Bingham is married to a Tory minister & has *no* experience in healthcare.

So @BorisJohnson made her head of his “vaccines taskforce”.

She’s spent £670k of public money on PR consultants.

Grotesque cronyism.

Imagine choosing to squander £670k of public funds on your own PR when there are 400 people a day dying of Covid.

Imagine being the prime minister who allows this to happen.
Look at this grotesque conflict of interest. Venture capitalist woos other venture capitalists with insider information from her government role??? Way to go, @BorisJohnson.
Thank you @thesundaytimes & @Gabriel_Pogrund particularly for bringing all of this to light.
