Richard Branson’s PM Chequers boast sparks awkward Twitter questions
Richard Branson’s latest blog has been conjuring some awkward questions on Twitter. The entrepreneur wrote about relationship between business and politics before stating, “Dined at Chequers with 9 of last 10 Prime Ministers. Won’t reveal who didn’t invite me – was it something I said?!”
Impressive, you might say. But Michael Jary, partner at OC&C Strategy Consultants and non exec director of Nationwide, called him out on his boast. “So your first visit would have been with Alec Douglas-Home in 1964, & you would have been 14. Wow!” he tweeted.
Meow. Do we detect some doubt there?
