“I think Mary Francis [former head of the Association of British Insurers and another candidate] would make a very good CBI leader,” she told me yesterday while watching the Chronicles of Narnia with her children, the paper’s reporter wrote. “I’ve got a good job at Tesco and haven’t really thought about it.” She’s still got time.
