Uber have appointed former Ed Balls SpAd Alex Belardinelli as their new Head of Communications for UK and Ireland. Wonder if he turned on surge pricing during the contract negotiations…

Really pleased to say I will be joining the great team at @Uber next week as Head of Communications for @UberUK & @Uber_Ireland

Let’s hope their drivers don’t go too far, too fast…
