It does suggest a certain arrogance that having reached such a senior & privileged role he didn’t feel he was obliged to follow standard procedure

Lies Industry UK - Darren Jones: An inquiry is underway into the leaking of confidential information to The Guardian. Tom Whitehead, FCDO Deputy Director of Communications, is the husband of The Guardian political editor Crerar.

The fact that her husband is Dep Comms Director of the FCO also questions her impartiality

To the “I hate Starmer for reasons (the media told you to)” mob

THIS is the Party you help every single day.

So you don’t get to pretend you have the moral high ground or want to “defend minorities” when the Party you’re helping would deport minorities to their deaths.

Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of 'solar zealots' and Josiah Mortimer is enthusiastically along for the ride

Solar Energy UK's chief is unsurprised by the surge: “Solar has such a dramatic impact on bills. Even before the latest energy crisis, last year saw a record 258,000 small-scale installations completed, largely on houses. The two million [total] mark will be crossed within weeks.”

I’m more concerned about the roles & responsibilities assumed by the civil service. A senior, very well paid and very experienced senior civil servant didn’t keep minutes. Smacks of arrogance and disregard for due diligence.

Poor old Olly, seemingly not that keen on pressure - you would have thought that his time as Chief Brexit Negotiator might have toughened him up a little and that a salary of over £200,000 pa would have helped to mitigate his level of distress!

Why is nobody talking about Reforms tax affairs? Reforms racist politicians? Please please stay Starmer, if only to show these media hit jobs don’t work

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄
We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment
Putin must be laughing his head off.

If only the media showed the same diligence in following up the RefUK scandals as they do trying to bring down the Labour government

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

The media’s hounding of the most productive PM in the last 15 years is a national disgrace.

This government has already delivered 20 manifesto pledges, 41 more are on course for completion before end of Parliament. Here’s a few that are well on the way to being delivered

I agree. I don’t want to repeat the Tory psychodrama of ministerial musical chairs every few weeks. Look behind the MSM hysteria, change is being delivered. Vast improvement on 14yrs of Tory destruction. Media have been gunning for Starmer from Day1, it doesn’t matter what he does. It’s tedious.

All as a result of an unstable, out of control madman as POTUS.

Can we be honest? Private medical services were so deeply embedded into the NHS by the Tories that if you remove them immediately the NHS couldn’t function. Absolutely we need to invest in the NHS to reduce the dependency but it will be a steady withdrawal not a big bang.

Tell us again who Pippa Crerar is married to. Dep Comms Director of the FCO - what a coincidence!!

Labour announce a leak investigation into how the media were passed information on Mandelson's vetting, when ministers were not.

It was announced during the debate in Parliament yesterday during the response by the Chief Secretary to the PM near the end of the debate..

Farage will deal with the racists, misogynists and homophobes in his ‘party’, he’ll promote them to his cabinet.

We all knew he has no instinct control and expected this but seriously:

How much longer will the GOP let this horrific “experiment“ run?😳🤬😳🤬😳

Thank TF for rare individuals like General Dan Caine.

Trumpflation.

UK prices up 3.3% in March, a +0.3% rise largely driven by rising fuel prices from Trump's(and Netanyahu's) Iran war.

Reminder that Farage and Badenoch backed that crazy war and Starmer didn't.

Outside Merriam Webster's HQ. 🤣 @merriam-webster.com

Now that the media's latest attempt to remove Starmer has failed, time to turn attention to his achievements:
➡️ 0.6% GDP growth in Jan-Feb 2026
➡️ Unemployment down to 4.9%
➡️ Pay rising faster than inflation
➡️ Min wage increased 4.1%
➡️ UK now 5th largest economy
➡️ 35% decrease in small boat crossings

The sight of salivating hacks waiting to pile into Labour for the likely Trump created inflation figure is not pretty.
The same hacks were mute when good unemployment and wage data were published.

Childcare worker: DBS vetted, OFSTED accountable.

Mother: no vetting required.

This is not about safety, it's about control. Reform want women in the home, not at work.

Meanwhile, the types of people who get through Reform's "vetting"...

They really are scum. Misogynist too as the majority of nursery staff are women.

Reform candidate says free childcare will lead to nursery abuse Martin Roberts said that "mothers will wish they'd looked after their babies themselves".

Reform candidate says free childcare will lead to abuse in nurseries

Farage urged to act against candidates with racist, misogynistic and homophobic views Exclusive: Despite the pledge to employ the best vetting system in British politics, some Reform UK candidates have been condemned for their ‘grotesque views’ posted online

“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.

Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

Nigel Farage wants to replace our NHS
with a US-style privatised healthcare system
which treats the superrich
bankrupts the well-off
leaves the rest of us to die ...

A local tattoo artist posted a video on Instagram of him asking two blokes in hi-vis not to put up an England flag on the lamp post outside his shop. Consequence: a flood of bad Google reviews including the predictable “paedo” allegations (“he touched my daughter” etc). Truly the shittiest people.

I hope you have gone back to the initial contracts awarded by Johnson, and further contracts awarded by Sunak to present the full story.
