MPs also challenged him on his new plan to ditch the 2017/19 manifestos (ie the 10 pledges from his leadership campaign). Starmer read out a pre-written speech beforehand.

Liz Truss hints that groups with "vested interests" must be argued down in support of free trade ... suggests we should stop being concerned about imported products not being made to our standards. 🚨

This afternoon I met with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg and his team regarding @portsmouthport . We’ve had unprecedented government investment in both freight and passenger facilities, and the port welcomes the new operating model. We’ll work to find new opportunities for redundant facilities.

As per @tnewtondunn : he nominated himself after being told he had all four Labour/SNP votes. Grayling nominated himself yesterday not expecting a challenge.

Quite a mini coup. Of the 9 members of the ISC, I'm told the vote was 5-4 in favour of Lewis. Lewis nominated himself this afternoon, having been told he had all four Labour/SNP votes, stunning Grayling, who nominated himself yesterday and didn't expect any challenges.

Mini-scoop in this profile: Mordaunt critics in the trade department are pointing to new documents released this week showing she did ZERO overseas travel for her job as trade minister in the first quarter of 2022.

THE POINT IS to be another voice sending this well-worn message to other people: If you’re feeling bad you don’t have to suffer alone. Talk to people, get support from work, get help and help yourself.

Great that this guidance is being updated - and lots of sensible sounding advice in there. One thing I would note: Just as we need to break the stigma around mental health we need to break the stigma around medicating for it where appropriate.

NHS could give therapy before anti-depressants, under new guidelines

Group exercise and mindfulness are also to be recommended before medication, according to new advice.

Um ... Harman was referring to the previous government. The one run by Boris Johnson. She checked with the govt when her Tweets first came to light in June 2022. Boris Johnson was PM. The govt told her it had confidence in her and she should continue.

Harmans speech was very revealing and effectively threw No10 under a bus. It implied, that despite the fact that she had already tweeted in advance of the hearings that Johnson was guilty, that she had the full backing of the PM and therefore the Gov to chair the committee.
