Being a lowly civil servant I always like to see how the senior bods manage to spin the annual Staff survey results in to something positive.

I quite agree Roger. My point really is then the choice. White, establishment male? Or BME female? For clarity I'm not weeping any tears for Patel! Nasty pieces of work both of them.

According to “an ally” of Priti Patel’s quoted in a Telegraph story (paywall), the international development is not going to go down without a fight. The ally is quoted as saying: ["Patel is being made a scapegoat, it is not credible that the Foreign Office knew about these meetings but Downin...

Can anyone explain to me the logic in the house rising for the Lib Dem conference (8 MPs) but not the SNP one (56 MPs ) .

It strikes me that this government are doing their best to make any statement about policy or aims are made as loose and open to interpretation as possible. This then gives them the chance to change their mind as often as they want and claim that the new interpretation was what they always meant.
