Gregory's ServerJames Timpson, from the ubiquitous shoe repair and key cutting shops, has been made a Lord and given the role of Prisons Minister. Putting someone who chairs the Prison Reform Trust (and makes a point of employing ex-offenders in his business) in charge of the prison system is ... actually quite sensible?

You can see the appointments as they are made here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ministerial-appointments-july-2024 |
Patrick Vallance (off of all those COVID presentations) is now a Lord and is the new Minister for Science. I'm not sure I can cope with the new government policy of putting people who know what they are doing in charge of things.
