The Business Secretary continues to talk and write utter nonsense on the topic of gender diversity in the boardroom. Only Lord Davies compares with him as a bullying male proponent of the initiative. On 16 July the Evening Standard published an article by Cable which plumbed new depths, ‘City passivity and prejudice is still sidelining women’. I had to reply:

Well done Mike!
I’m astonished finding Vince Cable referring to the Catalyst study, a rather ancient piece that is neither methodologically nor scientifically sound. I would rather make an unfounded claim than relying on the Catalyst “study”. Anyway, women in boardrooms naturally is a good thing. I mean, how on earth can it be a bad thing if Vince Cable thinks it is a good thing and Catalyst has shown it. Forget all the evidence that proves the opposite being true.
