BREAKING: Keir Starmer is abolishing Acoba, the post-ministerial jobs watchdog, which has long been criticised as “toothless”.
For first time financial penalties will be imposed on those who break the rules after leaving government.
PM also setting up new independent Ethics & Integrity commission to oversee standards in public life from October.
So proud of the @UKgovcomms team here in Chisinău helping our 🇲🇩colleagues deliver a fantastic #EPC Summit @EPCMoldova

Government Spokesperson:
"We have effectively completed the test of the UK-wide Emergency Alerts system, the biggest public communications exercise of its kind ever done. We are working with mobile network operators to review the outcome and any lessons learned."

Listen to Ellie Butt from the domestic abuse charity @RefugeCharity and Lucy Aldous from the Cabinet Office discuss what people should do if they have concerns about their mobile phone receiving Emergency Alert warnings.
Exactly. Keep calm and carry on.

Hugely deserved. An incredibly moving and beautifully perfomed piece of theatre.

Great to (virtually) join @latraelrahming and other comms professionals in The Bahamas Government last week at their Bahamas Communication Symposium
Discussing building relations with media with David Mills from @InstituteGC and what we can learn from the 🇬🇧 & 🇧🇸 experiences
As a founding member of the @tradegovuk press team, I'd have to agree. One of the most frenetic but rewarding places I've worked in Government
Very proud of what @tradegovuk achieved over its life. Whatever your view of Brexit, given it happened, DIT ensured trade disruption with RoW minimised and began to carve out a new more liberal trade policy. No mean feat when you are building and flying the plane simultaneously.

The Times leader today is spot on: “the state funeral has served as a reminder that at its best,the British state remains the envy of the world, staffed by many dedicated public servants of whom the country should be proud.”
Having worked on the @G7 and @COP26 Summits last year - its nice to see the UK potentially secure the hat-trick of major global events with #Eurovision 🎤
And no one will have to argue about coal subsidies this time
