How to unwind after a dramatic reshuffle ? Well, easier for me than some ministers & staff! But I recommend BBC4’s film-inspired songs. Some are awful but amongst the best:.the Passions’ ‘I’m in love with a German film star’-1st time I’ve seen it performed. It really moved me. .

Downing st sources suggesting the reshuffle was planned but brought forward from the autumn - due to events.

Keir Starmer has summoned all the key figures to Downing st this afternoon

Quite a lot of #PMQs devoted to attacks on Reform UK from @uklabour MPs and the PM himself (rather than the usual denunciations of @Conservatives).

Keir Starmer defends Angela Rayner #PMQs - praises her for asking to lift a court order protecting her son’s.confidentiality to put information about her property purchase in the public domain and says he is ‘proud’ to sit alongside her.

They also stressed the ‘desirability for the status quo’ in other words the initial judge should have considered that the asylum seekers he said should be moved may have to be moved back in again in Oct following a full hearing on Epping council’s case.
