Not sure that fits into the counter-reform strategy, and why would they need tips after all, it's going so well!
Not sure voters will view this as acceptable if the government fails to secure a bailout.
You'd think a Labour leadership so keen on tech issues might have thought legislating mandatory cyberattack insurance for systemically crucial sectors would be a good idea

Good to see such a strong response to the latest Reform insanity. Would be great if others in his party could also make such arguments, such as oh I don’t know, the Prime Minister?
.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan
“Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Indeed. It's also all v stakeholder management-y. Let's do a piece but not use any uncomfortable words. Let's make a statement at Cabinet. In front of a TV screen? Oh, no. Move beyond referring to the key participants *in code*?

Peter Kyle’s ongoing commitment to failing the “try not to make a tit of yourself in an interview challenge” is remarkable if nothing else.
What have we done wrong as a nation to be saddled with him endlessly making a fool of himself, having been promoted way beyond his competence?

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade
Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’
Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

Maresca’s not helped himself tonight with some of his selections (Tosin getting in over JA again is mental), but I can’t believe we’ve left ourselves short in key positions AGAIN. UEFA settlement makes it even harder to fix this.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

I do think Maresca's a melt, but it's very funny that he's clearly so annoyed about the striker situation. Guiu's awful, and I'm impressed that Winstanley, despite being obsessed with Brighton, didn't appear to see the obvious conclusion that J Pedro isn't a #9

Unspoken factor as of why i think starmers premiership is counting down to 6 months is that ministers are basically being asked to go out on tv with their trousers around their ankles
Migration minister Mike Tapp shudders as Peter Mandelson's emails to Epstein are read out to him on BBC Breakfast
He says they are "disturbing" but that we should consider Mandelson's statement expressing regret
He says the PM retains confidence in him "as far as I know"
