Anne Milton’s Wikipedia edited from Parliament ahead of reshuffle

Theresa May’s reshuffle is imminent. Although Cabinet’s big beasts are thought to be safe, Justine Greening and Greg Clark are among those in the hot seat. As for promotion, Jeremy Hunt is tipped to be appointed First Secretary of State. If this were to happen, a new Health Secretary would be needed.

There has been speculation in the media that Hunt’s two likely successors are Dr Philip Lee and Anne Milton. Milton is a former nurse, working as for the NHS for 25 years.

So, surely, complete coincidence that Milton’s Wikipedia page has been edited ‘anonymously’ from Parliament this morning. The change? Clarifying Milton’s husband’s former role as a director of Virgin Healthcare.

Watch this space…

Update: Curiouser and curiouser – it’s now been changed back.
