Politics latest: Top civil servant in Foreign Office Sir Olly Robbins to leave post, Sky News understands The top civil servant in the Foreign Office - Sir Olly Robbins - is understood to be leaving his post. It follows a row related to how Lord Mandelson was appointed as US ambassador.

A square graphic on a white background. At the top, there are two distinct, rough, painted-style brushstroke patches side-by-side: one in the blue and yellow of the European Union flag and one in the red, white, and blue of the United Kingdom's Union Jack.

Below the flags, bold, dark blue text reads: "THE UK IS COMING BACK TO ERASMUS+."

In the bottom right corner, there is a small, rectangular official European Union flag.

The BBC is in a race to the bottom because people will pay subscriptions for wall to wall crud on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc but get cross about the BBC licence fee which is astonishing value for money given the breadth and quality of content

Absolutely this. Critical thinking seems to be absolutely absent in a large percentage of our population. Short term panic about petrol prices should not be driving our nation’s strategy on energy

Also, does he not realise that restricting supply of oil flowing through the Straits of Hormuz raises prices globally?

I don’t think “good people” are falling for it, it’s the same exceptionalism, garbage media and poor education that got us into this mess in the first place are to blame. Anyone who “falls for it” gets no sympathy from me

I don’t think he has a say, but can always “pull a sickie” later. I’m reminded of the Queen having to agree to the illegal proroguing of Parliament when Johnson lied to her

I’m no supporter of the Royals, but I don’t think Charles has much involvement in the decision. Starmer needs to carry the can for this
