If you think this is a woman, you’re a fucking idiot. If you tell me to ignore reality and my own integrity and demand I call him a woman, you’re a fucking idiot. If you try and defend this bloke and call him a woman, you’re a fucking idiot. Hope I’ve made myself clear.

The Cabinet Office has been accused by the Intelligence and Security Committee of making too many redactions to the Lord Mandelson files It's clear the committee is furious with the way the government is conducting itself, effectively accusing it of censorship and putting national security at risk *** The ISC says that it is applying the 'personal information' criteria 'far too broadly' and without any scrutiny. 'We note that no body has been commissioned to review these redactions and assure Parliament they are within the spirit of the Humble Address' *** It also accuses the Cabinet Office of withholding documents, including Mandelson's vetting file. While the ISC does not wish to see the vetting file - indeed it privately accepts that doing so would undermine the vetting system - it says the Government needs to return to Parliament and seek its agreement for withholding documents *** The ISC says that the level of government business conducted on WhatsApp is 'extraordinary'. 'Lengthy Whatsapp conversations between senior officials and ministers appear now to be the format by which Government policy is formulated' *** It says government departments - the FCDO in particular - are failing to keep proper records - agendas, minutes and records of conversations. 'This is unacceptable in government' *** Sensitive exchanges are being conducted on 'lower level' security systems, putting the UK's national security at risk. The ISC says it is 'appalling'
