I’M TOLD

Downing Street Chief of Staff Gavin Barwell is about to be named as one of The Bloomberg 50, the elite list of ‘people who changed the game in global business in 2018’. The good news for the embattled No 10 gatekeeper is that the accolade is set to be bestowed at a lavish, star-studded bash in New York City. The bad news is the awards will be held on December 10, the day before the Prime Minister’s do-or-die Brexit vote. Probably best to send your apologies, Gavin.
