A slight change of tack here, but Sir Kier Starmer has announced many of his Ministerial Appointments, & it included two that surprised me very pleasantly.
First, Patrick Vallance - now SIR Patrick Vallance - has been appointed Science Minister. We learned to trust him implicitly during the COVID crisis & he has a very reassuring manner, not to mention deep knowledge of scientific matters. If COVID, or something similar, strikes again, we at least have a man who has a grasp of these things.
The other interesting & unusual one was James (William actually) Timpson, who runs the Timpsons chain of key cutting & shoe repair shops. He's a remarkable man with a most remarkable father. Here, have a read of his Wiki...
He's been handed the hot potato of "Prisons Minister", but I doubt any single person in the UK knows more about the prison system, or has done more to rehabilitate prisoners.
Incidentally, his Dad has a most impressive CV too, including being a Foster Parent to over 90 kids.

Two excellent appointments imo.
