It is good to know that Musk can push an Irish far right candidate hard on his pet social media network, and a whole country can just say absolutely not. Come on Brits, learn something.

What if something as simple as #SchoolMeals were treated as an opportunity to catalyse green and inclusive economic growth?
Today we launch a new report with WFP calling for school meals to be part of cross-departmental, multi-sector industrial policy.

This is unbelievable (not in a good way). What part of a Mission-based approach would suggest disempowering officials and preventing them engaging with outside views?
No10 has issued odd internal guidance banning officials speaking at public events
It means more closed govt & worse policy decisions-the opposite of what ministers say they want

I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community
Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs?
