No, it’s because she is incompetent.

No it's because she's the vaccines minister and is basically invisible in the middle of a rather important vaccine rollout.

...could that be because she's very busy in a sort of actually managing the vaccine roll out sort of way, as opposed to appearing on the tellie - why do you think she should be visible?

(PS: no dog in the fight BTW, I think the whole things a complete sham and she's probably doing a quiz right now)

One wonders how 23m+ people have to date managed to get the booster, and without even seeing Ms.Throup.

The booster campaign started on the day Throup took over from Zahawi, I don't think 23m+ is a bad result in approx 4 months (not suggesting she was personally responsible), perhaps it's best Throup stays invisible.

She was covered on HIGNFY last week.

Otherwise I'd have no idea who she was.

I'll confess i remember her from QT being some sort of doctor, but had no idea either that she was the vaccines minister!!

To be fair she's probably as surprised by the announcement as the NHS were.
