LIFE LOSES SPICE FOR SPORTY MIMS

FOrMEr sports minister Mims davies clearly enjoyed her whirlwind nine-month stint at the department for Culture.

Her most recent entry in the register of Members’ Financial Interests reveals she snaffled free tickets to royal Ascot’s royal box, concerts by Hugh Jackman, and the Spice Girls, Capital FM’s Summertime Ball and the Victoria & Albert Museum’s dior exhibition (with three guests), as well as a trip to Nice to attend the Women’s World Cup.

I suspect the perks associated with her new role as employment Under-Secretary of State at the department for Work and Pensions are not quite as alluring.
