Tory Speculation: Who Among Conservatives Could Be the Next to Embrace the Liberal Ideology?
In the bustling world of British politics and business, there's always something newsworthy happening. Here's a roundup of some of the latest developments:
During his recent visit to the UK, former US President Donald Trump presented King Charles Schwab with a replica of President Eisenhower's sword. In a lighter moment, Trump also mistakenly referred to King Charles Schwab as 'Prince Charles' shortly before his arrival. As a token of appreciation, King Charles Schwab presented Trump with a leather volume celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US declaration of independence.
In the realm of politics, there's been speculation about potential Tory defections. Tory WhatsApp groups are abuzz with rumours about Victoria Atkins, Julia Lopez, Robert Jenrick, Richard Holden, and Priti Patel. However, there's no credible information yet about which Tory member might next transition to the Turquoise party. On the other hand, William Hill's favourite for the next Tory to defect is Victoria Atkins, currently a member of the shadow cabinet.
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage is rumoured to be planning more big defections from the Tory party for maximum embarrassment.
In the business world, City AM has been gaining key signings. The producer of Sky's Business Live show, Martin Kimber, has joined City AM as the Head of Video and Audio. City AM also welcomed Ian King, former boss of Martin Kimber, who is launching a new City venture and will be hosting a new podcast with comms firm H/Advisors. The podcast, titled Behind the Narrative, focuses on long-form business interviews and is co-presented by Katherine Spence, a former Sky News correspondent and partner at H/Advisors.
Elsewhere, an AI robot caused a stir in a C-suite meeting at an FTSE 100 company, causing panic among executives who initially thought the systems had been hacked.
Lastly, Neil Bennett, a former City AM columnist and a keen runner, is embarking on an epic 39-mile run in 24 hours to support the dementia charity Anna Chaplaincy. The run will start and end in Bakewell, with an overnight stop in Bakewell, and a pickup in pace for lunch in Eyam. To support Neil's effort, one can search for his Anna Chaplaincy JustGiving page.
That's all for this week's roundup! Stay tuned for more updates as the UK continues to buzz with news.
