Two governments took @TheNewsAgents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.
The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

Inside Wes Streeting’s final cabinet meeting:
“I asked to see Keir after the meeting and one of his team said ‘he’s not in the right frame of mind to talk to you right now’".
@wesstreeting on Keir Starmer being in the wrong job.
Remarkable and frank interview.
I'd expect nothing less from @wesstreeting.
He says what he means and means what he says.
You might not agree with him, but give this a listen. you might be surprised.
The reveal on Keir Starmer's response to Wes highlighting evidence from British medics in Gaza is shocking.
NEW: Weekend @TheNewsAgents with @wesstreeting
Newsy. Among other things says
🌹 Keir Starmer is “in denial” about his/Labour’s prospects and so are some Lab MPs
🌹 Claims PM ignored his warnings about war crimes in Gaza for political reasons
🌹 Says he’d serve in a Burnham govt but will 100% contest- no coronation
🌹 Says PM should release ministers to support who they wish if he wants to stand in a contest
🌹 Says PM is not political and is in the wrong job- “he has no plan”. Says he will be handmaiden to 1930s politics under Farage if he keeps going.
🌹 Accuses US govt of “interference” in British politics and says @elonmusk should “bugger off”
Loads more- listen here https://t.co/dLOyb72rj1
“The culture is bad” says @wesstreeting and he’s spot on. Viciously bullying culture that @Keir_Starmer knows about but always says it’s nowt to do with him.
"You're saying that you drew attention to war crimes... and Keir Starmer chose to ignore it because he thought you were using it for political purposes?"
"That is just a statement of fact."
@wesstreeting tells @lewis_goodall the PM dismissed evidence of war crimes in Gaza.
'It's clear he thinks that at the next election there’s a choice between politics of decency and politics of division.’
@Lewis_Goodall breaks down Wes Streeting’s claim that Reform 'propaganda echoes the 1930s’.
"This is the type of propaganda that is reminiscent of the 1930s. It is dangerous, it is nationalistic, and it's got to be beaten", says @wesstreeting
“Do you think if Starmer continues, he’ll be the midwife to that sort of politics?", asks @lewis_goodall
"100%!”
'Wes Streeting said the PM doesn't have any emotional or political connection with the public.'
@lewis_goodall analyses the former Health Secretary's 'blistering' comments about Keir Starmer.
Normal caveats apply- but another Makerfield poll showing a
(i) Burnham massively outperforming where a generic Lab candidate would be
(ii) substantial Restore vote, costing Reform heavily.
(iii) Conservatives the third party of right, almost no support at all.

"What Labour politicians called progress, was experienced by many as the destruction of their way of life and of their country."
Kid lifted out of poverty? First time universty goer? (I know, we don't like them anymore) Recipient of the minimum wage?
Worth saying many people experienced New Labour as progress too.

@CllrPLilley@horton_official@CityWestminster@sohosocietyw1 Do you care about new businesses not being able to open because of vexatious complaints? Do you care about growth? New jobs? New tax revenue locally and nationally? Or just preserving status quo, which is one of decline?
'Do you not think you'd have more credibility with listeners if you just said "yeah, we screwed up"?'
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp absolves the Tories of all responsibility for the current prison crisis, despite being in power for 14 of the last 16 years.
@Lewis_Goodall
Tough questions for all sides on Sunday with Lewis Goodall @LBC. Great to see @KemiBadenoch is a fan. We’re still waiting for her first appearance but door very much open this week. Know she likes an argument and lots to talk about.
Kemi Badenoch mentions at PMQs @lewis_goodall interviewing Pat McFadden last week on welfare where he couldn't say if Labour wanted to cut the benefits bill or not.
KB: "On Sunday, the Welfare secretary was asked 12 times on national radio if he would make cuts to the benefits bill. And 12 times he could not answer. So I will ask the Prime Minister, is he going to cut the benefits bill?"
