Fascinating- under current rules, all ministers' meetings should be registered. And all consultant lobbyists, like Global Counsel, have to register with the official Registrar and declare all instances of lobbying ministers and perm secs.
So is this acceptance that the current schemes don't work?

It is Donald Trump’s systematic campaign to stamp out dissent and punish those who disagree with him that will be remembered as among the most singularly un-American aspects of his disruptive tenure.

Trump made the mistake of doing all his shitty stuff so loudly that even the Trumper's who don't pay attention couldn't avoid seeing what was happening.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

With my PR hat on, I would suggest there are some non-apology “apologies” that can actually make a situation worse.
If you can only bring yourself to apologise “if your choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe”, it’s probably best to say nothing at all.

Opportunism and moral rot. And especially the disconnect between GOP leaders - products of elite educations who aspire to elite institutions - and their voters, who will let them stay in DC as long as they pretend to believe that vaccines are evil and all that crap.
