Conservatives tell Karren Brady: 'You're hired!'
THE Apprentice star Karren Brady hailed George Osborne as “the right man with the right plan” in a surprise appearance at the conference yesterday.
The 44-year-old West Ham United vice-chairman was unveiled as a Government small business ambassador.
She introduced the Chancellor’s keynote speech, accusing the last Labour government of having “all but bankrupted the country”. She said: “David Cameron and George Osborne held their nerve and stuck to the plan and I hope you can see how right they were – we are now starting to recover.
“This Government understands that without small businesses Britain would not be what it is today.”
Ms Brady, who stars with Sir Alan Sugar in the BBC series, is tipped as a future Tory MP.
