If nobody goes to jail for this, we've entered the 'every man for himself' stage of empire decline.

@WindsorDebs @GOVUK If my phone does this, I will fire it from a canon into the sun. I own my phone. Not Apple. Not the phone company. And certainly not any government.

Wes Streeting claims he has disappearing messages on WhatsApp. But just last month, he published a batch of conversations with Peter Mandelson — which would be impossible if he used disappearing messages. It looks like Wesley is telling lies.

This smells as fishy as a Somalia trawler. There is a whole dedicated IT security team in the rear basement of 10 Downing Street who constantly ensure that staff phones and IT kit are secure. Inconceivable they were not rapidly made aware of the alleged phone theft by the CoS private office. Logs would exist of this. And when new device issued, 10DS security team would liaise with Met and OGD to assess whether opportunistic thief or targeted foreign agent operation with the potential to compromise some of the most senior figures in government. This McSweeney equivalent of ‘the dog ate my homework’ is going to need a bit more work.

BREAKING   Scotland Yard has confirmed that Morgan McSweeney reported the theft of his phone to them on October 20 last year   They took down ***the wrong address*** and assumed the offence had taken place in East London rather than Westminster   As a result they could not identify a suspect and the case was closed   The Times has been told officers were 'too busy' to speak to Morgan McSweeney directly about it   Having established the error following the report by The Sun on Sunday they have amended the report   Worth bearing in mind that this was the theft of the phone with the prime minister's number, the number of every cabinet minister, sensitive WhatsApps, messages, emails… you name it. This was NOT an ordinary phone Starmer: “On Monday, 20 October police received a report from a man in his 40s alleging that his phone had been snatched.   “The incident was recorded as having taken place in Belgrave Street, E1.   “A review of the allegation, including a consideration of whether there was available CCTV, did not identify any realistic lines of enquiry. The investigation was subsequently closed.   “In the course of responding to a recent media enquiry, we became aware that the address was entered incorrectly at the time of the initial call and should instead have been recorded as Belgrave Road, Pimlico.   “Having identified this error, the report will be amended and the assessment of whether there is available evidence revisited."

BANK OF LONDON DISCOVERS CAPITAL IS EASIER TO RAISE WHEN YOU JUST MAKE IT UP The Bank of London and its parent, Oplyse Holdings, have been fined £2 million after the PRA found they misled the regulator over their capital position, handed over fabricated documents, stayed less than candid about their worsening solvency, and failed to keep adequate financial resources in place. The really inspiring part is that the watchdog said the misconduct was bad enough for a £12 million penalty, then cut it to £2 million because paying the full amount would cause financial hardship. Which is a marvellous advert for a bank, really. Trust us with your money, we just can’t survive the bill for lying about having enough of our own. Source: Bank of England, March 24, 2026 –

The Chancellor of the Exchequer oversees the spending of billions of pounds. But I’ve been looking into Rachel Reeves’ own financial disclosures and have identified several payments that may represent a conflict of interests. The Reeves Investigation, published here tomorrow.

This was published by Tim Shipman on 14 February. It details how in the period up to 13 October, 2025 Labour officials became worried a motion would be put to parliament demanding the release of Morgan McSweeney's messages to Peter Mandelson. On October 20 McSweeney reported his mobile had been stolen.

I am Morgan Macsweeney I am Chief Of Staff to the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland I hold a top-secret security clearance I own a mobile phone I use this phone to conduct Government Business I use this phone to message with Lord Mandelson My phone is tracked by GCHQ There are protocols for officials using personal phones to conduct Government business My communications are monitored to ensure they are not intercepted My phone is "stolen" a month after Lord Mandelson is sacked The police do not investigate The phone is not tracked down The police are too busy to track down the phone the most senior member of the Prime Minister's team - someone with a top-secret security clearance I do not contact my service provider to block the stolen phone I do not consider asking GCHQ to do this as a national security priority I do not ask for a replacement sim I do not buy a new phone I do not activate my new phone with the new sim I do not log-in to my Google account I do not select "Restore" I do not download WhatsApp I do not recover my messages Nobody, ever, who had their phone stolen was ever able to get their messages back. @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer DO YOU THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID?

So, bets on PMQs this week? Kemi: When did you find out Morgan McSweeneys phone had been stolen and what did you do to recover and secure the critical data on it? Starmer: We’ve announced a new breakfast club in Barnsley.
Andrew Snowden MP 🇬🇧@A_J_Snowden

What is Starmer scared of? What is he hiding on Mandleson? I’m sick of listening to Starmer’s pre-scripted drivel masquerading as answers at #PMQs We know the answer to the question @KemiBadenoch asked him 6 times, he just doesn’t want to say it. So I called him out for it.

Bank of London fined puny £2m for filing fake documents with regulator to conceal its financial position. Fine reduced from £12m because that "would cause serious financial hardship." Peter Mandelson was a director until 2024. No exec fined/prosecuted. bankofengland.co.uk/news/2026/marc…

Absolutely adore John Kennedy. He cuts straight through the bs to the core of the matter with accuracy, precision and style. We need to clone Senator Kennedy.
