Slow handclaps all round. Having been “ordered” by the government two years ago to appoint women in at least a third of their boardroom positions, a recent review of the UK’s 350 biggest firms by Hampton-Alexander found that five of them had failed to appoint a single woman.

A further 75 firms have only one woman on their board, which the review quite rightly called out as a “tokenistic gesture”.
