For a very (very) brief period I was extremely fortunate to work with the football industry on what a long term settlement between football and government could look like. Many of the proposals put forward are overdue, needed and in line with what had been planned. However…
The UK government has announced its plans to have an independent regulator for English football ahead of tomorrow’s release of the white paper on the game’s governance. More from @bosherL theathletic.com/4241195/?sou…

I was struck by how little consensus existed in football. The FA, PL, EFL, clubs, politicians all have their own different versions of what a regulator should do. There is absolutely no consistent market view on the what, who and why. This is very bad news.

Just Gary Neville claiming the Foreign Secretary has secretly plotted to bring down Matt Hancock. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Hancock , Williamson and eventually Johnson were always going to be brought down by Mobb , Raab and Gove. This is just the start . It’s the worst set of politicians we’ve ever had in this country. Charlatans !

I see Robert Jenrick is getting the Twitter treatment. Some thoughts on this and the wider role of the media at the moment. Coronavirus is fundamentally a slow moving news story being played out by the broadcasters in a fast moving way. Wall to wall coverage all day every day.

But there is not enough happening to actually justify this 24/7 coverage. COVID-19 is a nuanced, technical story that doesn't naturally suit broadcast. Broadcasters need to realise this and not create hysteria around 'u-turns' or 'chaos'. Papers are, I feel, grappling it better.

Important information for the new DWP SpAds whoever you are: It is a WINDOW. Not a door. Your brilliant Private Secretary will have the key for you. You’re very welcome.

More seriously, the next SoS will inherit a better Department and situation than we did. The SR was a triumph for DWP and further plans were well advanced. Amber’s compassionate agenda has reshaped UC. Very sorry and sad to leave great people and a place that felt like home.

Delighted to be back at @DWP with Amber to continue the work we’ve started. Also looking forward to meeting and working with new colleagues at @WomenEqualities. Hugely excited to get going.

Our documentary work with the BBC and @jocarr’s team has been well publicised. It’s also not a secret we’ve had differences of opinion with them over past reporting of UC. Any responsible organisation will update its staff on matters of media interest. amp.theguardian.com/commenti…
Is there a more putrid, spiteful or wretched person, in a UK position of power, then Len McCluskey?

#Romney announcing tomorrow. Front runner and only candidate with credibility. Still wont win. #'GOP
Barcelona are quite simply the greatest side of the last 3 or 4 decades. Frightening at times. Always look like scoring
Did the right thing for himself and for the party at the time. People forgetting the restrictions on a junior partner in a coalition
