Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill writes to @BorisJohnson saying “we have agreed that I will stand down”. Interesting choice of words
Comes a day after @michaelgove gave an important lecture calling for government to experiment & decentralise more, employ fewer generalists & champion those FDR called “The Forgotten Man”. Will this be the much promised Whitehall revolution or just a change of personnel ?
"Stop, think & check" Facebook urges its users in an effort to combat hate speech. I asked one of their bosses today why the company didn't do just that instead of asking its users to do it for them ...
One revealing deletion & one revealing addition to what was briefed about the PM’s speech. He did not referred to himself or his plan as Rooseveltian but he did say “I am not a Communist”. Wonder if some Tories worried that their leader risked sounding just a bit too left wing?
It’s cold, it’s wet & I fell asleep on the sofa after lunch when Boris Becker was one set up. Anything much happened since ? #wimbledonrewind

I can’t remember seeing a poll as clear as this. The public heard the PM’s explanation. They heard Dominic Cummings. A very clear majority simply aren’t buying it @DailyMailUK

Thought for the day : Those you disagree with aren’t enemies or traitors. They don’t deserve to be “knifed or lynched or hanged”. They are just people you disagree with. Those who report news you don’t like aren’t fake or frauds or enemies of the people. They are just reporters.
Trump’s attack on ’s Jim Acosta is an attack on the right of all journalists everywhere to ask tough questions of people in power. That’s our job
You know what ? Football did come home - brought us together, made us proud, gave us something to cheer ???????
Now clear why Boris kept off air this week. Leave's promises - to get back £350m, to slash immigration & to have cake & eat it - all binned
