As his qualifications are not enough to work for the government, netizens theorized that his father must have donated a large sum to the conservative party.
Ed (questioner in @itvnews video) Oldfield’s CV looks v thin and short to be Head of Broadcast at No.10 with no broadcast/journalistic experience. He was apparently a transcriber in CCHQ previously but his father has donated tens of thousands to party so mystery solved I guess… pic.twitter.com/dtCRIQKYhk
