1/. Dido Harding officially applies to become CEO of NHS England

“If she gets the job after spaffing £37bn on Test & Trace, it’s blatant corruption & we should report it to the government’s corruption tsar who is - *checks notes* - #DidoHarding’s husband. Oh.” @davidschneider

2/. #DidoHarding will no doubt draft very compelling cover letter, but I’d suggest anyone on the @NHSEngland interview panel looks at this @PrivateEyeNews article

It puts together things that Dido somehow left out of her official CV

Her career appears to be a litany of disaster

3/. “Putting Dido Harding in charge of the NHS would be like putting Gavin Williamson in charge of schools” @davemacladd

As well as getting a peerage, Dido
has also won awards: two wooden spoons from @DailyMailUK for “worst customer service in the UK” while she was at @TalkTalk

4/. Despite being at the helm when @TalkTalk were hacked & lost 4m customer’s banking details - a scandal that cost the company £60m - #DidoHarding continued to fall upwards

Marketing Magazine warned “Dido Harding's utter ignorance is a lesson to us all"

The lesson was ignored.

5/. Putting #DidoHarding in charge of Track & Trace, @MattHancock explained he “can’t think of anyone better than Dido”

As the system failed, Harding said:
“I don’t think anybody was expecting to see the really sizeable increase in demand that we’ve seen”

But we had. Literally!

6/. #DidoHarding's husband, Tory MP @JohnPenroseNews isn't just @BorisJohnson's "corruption Tzar"

He is ALSO on the advisory board of 1828, which calls for the NHS to be replaced by an insurance system & for Public Health England to be scrapped

Oh dear! mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

7/. #DidoHarding has qualities that this govt admire

She's good a talking but saying nothing, denying responsibility & shifting blame

She claimed the rise in demand for #COVID19 tests was unexpected & she blamed schools not preparing enough over summer.

8/. In November, @Jeremy_Hunt asked #DidoHarding if it was accurate that only 3% of people who should have quarantined, actually quarantined

"You won't get 100% at each stage." @didoharding replied

We’re never said we needed 100% Dido!

But you got 3%!!!

9/. On 30/9/20, Matt Hancock quietly launched #GenomeUK, a 10-year strategy that will transform the NHS & put genomics at the heart of the entire programme for govt

#DidoHarding’s was chair of Genomics England

Here’s Dido with #CambridgeAnalytica’s CEO

10/. The NHS = the most trusted brand in the UK

Cambridge Analytica = the least trusted

And yet #Palantir who run our #COVID19 data store rprtdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica how to scrape data

With the #NHSDataGrab story finally starting to break, this needs proper scrutiny.

11/. #DidoHarding says she will cut back the number of foreigners in the NHS

@I_am_spottacus responds:

“I am a foreigner

I’ve worked in the NHS for 17 years

Nights
Weekends
Holidays

I may have looked after you or your mum or your baby as it was born” thetimes.co.uk/article/dido-h…
