BREAKING: Keir Starmer is abolishing Acoba, the post-ministerial jobs watchdog, which has long been criticised as “toothless”.

For first time financial penalties will be imposed on those who break the rules after leaving government.

PM also setting up new independent Ethics & Integrity commission to oversee standards in public life from October.

@JoeLSmallman Never tell me the Cabinet Office is boring

I do love a global summit

The reason I’m not at work this week 🤵💍🤵‍♂️

Update on the #EmergencyAlerts test:

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

#EmergencyAlerts
Government Spokesperson:
"We have effectively completed the test of the UK-wide Emergency Alerts system, the biggest public communications exercise of its kind ever done. We are working with mobile network operators to review the outcome and any lessons learned."

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

Listen to Ellie Butt from the domestic abuse charity @RefugeCharity and Lucy Aldous from the Cabinet Office discuss what people should do if they have concerns about their mobile phone receiving Emergency Alert warnings.

[Joseph Potts @JosephPotts3]

Exactly. Keep calm and carry on.

@scottygb Sadly, we couldn't get the rights for that

[Joseph Potts @JosephPotts3]

Hugely deserved. An incredibly moving and beautifully perfomed piece of theatre.

Great to (virtually) join @latraelrahming and other comms professionals in The Bahamas Government last week at their Bahamas Communication Symposium

Discussing building relations with media with David Mills from @InstituteGC and what we can learn from the 🇬🇧 & 🇧🇸 experiences

@SamFowles @BarristerSecret Unless of course YOU are the secret barrister

[Joseph Potts @JosephPotts3]

As a founding member of the @tradegovuk press team, I'd have to agree. One of the most frenetic but rewarding places I've worked in Government

[John Alty @JohnAlty1]

Very proud of what @tradegovuk achieved over its life. Whatever your view of Brexit, given it happened, DIT ensured trade disruption with RoW minimised and began to carve out a new more liberal trade policy. No mean feat when you are building and flying the plane simultaneously.

[Alex Stuart Aiken @AlexanderAiken]

@JoelPMoore Gaythering perchance?

[Joseph Potts @JosephPotts3]

Listening to the audiobook. This is excellent. Like a slowly-building whodunnit

[Joseph Potts @JosephPotts3]

Saw this at the International Theatre Amsterdam a few years ago. It was phenomenal. Lucky London
