First a peerage, now a new plum job – why does Boris keep promoting Charlotte Owen?
The IndependentWhatever happened to Baroness Charlotte Owen of Alderley Edge? In addition to the above, she also made a maiden speech last November in which she promised to take her new role “incredibly seriously” and thanked Boris Johnson “who put a great deal of trust in me…. Within the last month Charlotte’s register of interests shows she has a new paid role as Vice President for a company called Better Earth Limited. Once again Johnson has placed a great deal of trust in Charlotte, giving someone with no public record of involvement in the environment sector a key job with his new venture “helping companies operate profitably within planetary boundaries while respecting human needs”. Despite … mitigations there remains a risk that you could be seen to offer an unfair advantage to its clients as a result of your access to information and influence.” A financial commentator in The Street recommended Mr Adnani’s Uranium Energy Corp as a stock that “could glow as nuclear power regains favour”.
