  • Was listening to a podcast the other day about the forthcoming local and mayoral elections.

    Always thought Andy Street was not too bad for a Tory, seems to work quite closely with Andy Burnham and has distanced himself from the more crazy policies/elements of the Tory party. So was very surprised to hear that his long-term partner is Michael Fabricant. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that, just found it surprising!

  • Andy Street was not too bad for a Tory

    I've never understood how someone could rise to the top of the John Lewis Partnership, and be a Tory,
    or,
    how a Tory could be allowed to rise to the top of the JLP.

  • I'm sure his rise to the top was all down to his own brilliance and he could have done it without those pesky partners.

  • I’ve been told JLP’s “partner” model is only really the case because it has a huge pension deficit and so no one can afford to buy it. Not really as idealistic as I first thought.
