Over-Promoted and Over-Protected by the Establishment On 20 December 2023, I posted the following: “You’ve probably never heard of him, but Sir Chris Wormald is the man directly responsible for wasting £10 billion of public money on PPE. As Permanent Secretary at the Department of Health and Social Care during COVID, he bought five years’ worth of PPE when only four months’ supply was needed. Much of it had a shelf life of just two years, meaning billions of pounds’ worth of stock expired and was destroyed. He is now Head of the Cabinet Office a man over-promoted to a level far beyond his capabilities. He should have been sacked for his performance at the DHSC. Instead, he was promoted to the top job in the civil service! He has very serious questions to answer about how such staggering waste and deception of public money were allowed to happen, but he has always been protected. He used myself and my husband as scapegoats turning me into the ‘poster Blonde Baroness’ to cover up his own sheer incompetence. His performance at the COVID Inquiry shone a light on his failings and the shocking waste of public money. At the time, I was attacked for speaking the truth. But as today’s headlines show, Keir Starmer is now reportedly on the verge of sacking Chris Wormald. The sad reality is, they’re all as bad as each other protecting one another, shifting blame, and refusing to take any responsibility or accountability for these failings. The public deserves honesty, not excuses. Already knighted what’s next for him? A place in the House of Lords?
