Sajid Javid faces in-tray of complaints about plans for EU nationals
European parliament’s Brexit coordinator says MEPs have found significant problems surrounding future status of EU citizens
Sajid Javid, the home secretary, will begin his new job by facing a series of complaints from the European parliament over the UK government’s proposed system for granting EU nationals settled status in the country.
In the wake of the scandal over the treatment of the Windrush generation that cost Javid’s predecessor her job, the parliament’s Brexit coordinator, Guy Verhofstadt, has warned that MEPs found significant problems with the UK’s plans for EU citizens and were anxious over the plight of the most vulnerable applicants.

In this case, could it be getting the push before he jumps?

The rumoured Labour/data/Cambridge Analytics story:
https://libertystratcom.org/2018/04/30/ ... analytica/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And it's a Labour Leave/Leave.eu story.
Basically Leave.eu have previously claimed that they didn't need Cambridge Analytica's dodgy Facebook data, because they had their own data. Only, if this story is to be believed, it wasn't theirs, it was Labour Party data. Begged, borrowed or stolen? That is unclear and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. What is clear is that there are possibly some data protection violations to add to the long list of things Leave.eu are being investigated for.
Quite simply, it gets murkier.

Wasn't there a connection between Labour Leave and Dominic Cummings?

Labour Leave, which formally launches on Wednesday, has described itself as "a Labour campaign, run by, staffed by, and funded by Labour members".
However, BuzzFeed News has learned its website is registered to Dominic Cummings, a former special adviser to Michael Gove who pushed through some of the former education secretary's most radical reforms and now works for the Vote Leave campaign. The administrative address for Labour Leave's website is also given as Vote Leave's headquarters in central London.

Well remembered. All the leave campaigns appear to have worked together far more closely than the Electoral Commission would allow, with Cummings at Vote Leave being the lynchpin, but no doubt Brexit will be done and dusted by the time it's all unravelled.
