All right, the Karen Betts who has been appointed to advise the Board of Trade is not a makeup artist, but a former diplomat who is now the CEO of the Scotch Whisky Association. Although I see no reason why it should be either rather than the other. But the really striking appointment is that of Daniel Hannan.
Boris Johnson may know, and Dominic Cummings undoubtedly does, that the constituency that the appointment of Tony Abbott is intended to placate has every intention of getting Abbott, who as a Commonwealth citizen is eligible for election to the House of Commons, into the next Conservative Leadership Election, perhaps as early as next year. Hannan, however, has at least as strong a claim on the Right to the next winnable by-election that might come along.
