What an absolutely extraordinary intervention

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Britain's top civil servant Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald has departed Downing Street - and it has been widely briefed that Sir Keir Starmer intends to replace him with Antonia Romeo.

But Dame Antonia has been at times a controversial figure - she was investigated by the Foreign Office while serving as Consul General in New York in 2017 over allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination and misusing expenses.

Now Lord McDonald, who was the Permanent Secretary in charge of the Foreign Office at the time, says he's tried to offer his testimony as part of the vetting process but hasn't yet heard back.

What a treat, having missed his BSc & MSc graduation ceremonies due to lockdown & then having covid, it was lovely to see Joshua (after 3 years of study/exams whilst working full time) formally become a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. I couldn’t be a prouder Dad ❤️

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

The #OurHealthHeroes Awards are a fantastic way to show our appreciation for the UK's healthcare workforce. I'm looking forward to hearing all about this year's nominees, and celebrating their achievements.

Nominations are open until 4 March. @skillsforhealth

I was sat next to John Prescott on the front row of the Labour Party Conference waiting to hear which Milliband would be the next leader. David (everybodys pick except the Unions) or Ed (Nobodys pick except the Unions). The groan of disappointment was palpable, the hall was full of blairites. John turned to me and said “We’re fucked now lad, totally fucked, but don’t quote me for god sake”! I figure it’s ok to share this now.

Just been sent this. Think he won that one.

@ProfDonnaHall Yup, agree with this.

I give you Foxes

Never has this been truer. Labour needs to step up, wake up, show up, and get us back on the path to EU membership, in whatever form can be agreed. Blair was right then and is right now. Come on, sort yourselves out. Your economic growth doesn’t exist.

'Speaking truth to power' has always been a core to being a Charity Leader, I suspect we will only hear silence this week -#Channel4Dispatches King & Prince William's secret finances. Patronage, Fundraising and Gongs are all very powerful motivators.

I told you Laura Kuenssberg was struggling now that she is in opposition!
She could, of course, ask some different questions that Boris Johnson hasn’t seen in advance. For a change.
