The Border Force chief who was last night accused of causing huge delays at Heathrow Airport by splitting the workforce into rigid and inflexible bubbles has landed a senior role with NHS Test and Trace.
It is understood that Chief Operating Officer Emma Moore instructed Border Force agents to work in 12-person bubbles at the West London airport, in an apparent bid to prevent the spread of mutant Covid variants.
But the bubble policy, which first came into force on December 31, has been blamed for much of the mayhem experienced by thousands of passengers trying to clear passport checks at Heathrow Airport last week.
