Following Chancellor Philip Hammond's demand yesterday that businesses 'sharpen their approach' on cyber crime, some say we now need a full-time minister for cyber security. How about outgoing TalkTalk boss Baroness (Dido) Harding? She plans to devote more time to public service when she leaves her £2.8million-a-year post in May. And having been through the wringer during TalkTalk's 2015 cyberhack woes, impish-looking Dido, 49, will have the requisite hippo-like hide for the dispatch box. Cyber security minister? Out-going Talk Talk boss Baroness Harding said she plans to devote more time to public service when she leaves her £2.8m a-year post in May Dusty ex-Barclays boss Antony Jenkins is booked to appear in Bishopsgate next month 'for a fireside chat to share insights on the role technology will play in the transformation of businesses, industries and societies'. An unkind City source wryly observes: 'Antony is no Cicero. This could be one for chronic insomniacs only.' Rug-chested property tycoon Vincent Tchenguiz will take delivery of a new 165-foot Mangusta yacht at the end of March. Tragically, this means he'll be unable to show off the £20million gin palace at Mipim, the garish property conference held in Cannes next month. Iranian-born Vincent's current gas guzzler, Veni Vidi Vici, is now up for sale, in case you've got a spare £10million. Convivial former City public relations man-turned Anglican priest George Pitcher is crowdfunding for his new novel Dark Nativity. Lustrously-maned Pitcher, founder of PR firm Luther Pendragon and who briefly spun for the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, says the rangy-sounding tome centres on a female Anglican priest who becomes 'horribly embroiled' in Middle-Eastern politics. Trills the Rev: 'I'm hoping to win the Bad Sex Award.' With President Trump's national security adviser Michael Flynn out on his ear, how are his two Goldman Sachs alumni getting along? Chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, 56, until recently Goldman's president, says he speaks to oddball Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin 'two, three times a day' as well as lunching together in the White House mess hall. Meanwhile, Trump reportedly refers to the pair in meetings as 'my geniuses.' It's bound to end in tears. Some links in this article may be affiliate links.
