Get Tosin off ASAP and an actual RB on the pitch. Would be really good if we could bring one of our strikers on as well.

Having a great first day as the OBR's website manager. Got all of the content queued up as a scheduled post, ready for a big day, but all of the work is done now.
Now before I put my feet up, time to take a big gulp of water and check the latest news.

Thoroughly unlikeable and has contributed *nothing*
the one good thing about this guy winning his seat at the last election will be him losing his seat at the next one
Labour MP Luke Akehurst says he "wholeheartedly welcomes" Mahmood's plans "which I believe will tackle a failure by the previous government to maintain one of the most basic fundamental functions of government, which is control of our borders."

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?

“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.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
