Theresa May’s resignation honours list has sparked controversy but one award is richly deserved.
Jenny Sharkey, executive secretary to the former PM, has worked for May in the House of Commons since 2001.
Before that however she was office manager for ... Forest!
Jenny originally worked for my predecessor Marjorie Nicholson but stayed on for a further two years until she was offered what she called her “dream job”.
We were delighted for her then and we’re delighted for her now. In fact, an MBE for 18 years’ political and public service is probably the least she deserves.
Congratulations, Jenny, you’ve earned it!
