Told that the measures in the Labour manifesto are Remain compliant, indeed consistent with either result of a new referendum. There were some doubts expressed in civil service about 2017 manifesto compatibility with EEA & EU, esp mail renationalisation...

They really wouldn't need to do this stuff if they were as confident about the election as they claim. That's my take on it anyway.

Israel’s attorney general has indicted Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
Avichai Mandelblit said on Thursday that the prime minister would be charged in all three major corruption cases for which he was investigated.
The dramatic announcement, the culmination of three years of inquiries, arrives at a fraught time for Israel’s longest-serving leader. Netanyahu is fighting for his political life after failing to secure a clear win in two elections this year.
