Up the pole

If only I'd stayed the course. Flags were waved at the Public Accounts Committee grilling of the BBC yesterday.



James Wild, 43, was born in Norwich and grew up in North Walsham. He went to Norwich School for nine years on an assisted place - this makes him an Old Norvicensian. He proceeded to Queen Mary College, University of London, emerging with a BA in Politics.  He worked in PR roles with The Communication Group, Politics Direct, T-Mobile and Hanover, before embarking on a series of roles as a Government special adviser in 2012. It culminated in five months alongside Boris Johnson - James was elected in December 2019 as the MP for North West Norfolk. 

He met his wife Natalie in Conservative Central Office; she's now Leader of the House of Lords. The couple have no children, and live in Bowes Park. Both have season tickets for Norwich FC.

James has no visible tattoos, but an clear intuitive feel for what the licence-fee payers of King's Lynn expect from the BBC.
