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

Is it beyond the authorities to demand that all MPs, Spads, officials etc are only allowed a gov issued phone to use which must be backed up securely and that they are not allowed to store messages or numbers of others in the same position to be stored or contacted through private phones? It’s so so simple. As ever, they will surely agree that if they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear from such a rule. Make it a criminal office for them to not follow the rule.

A grim prognosis from Professor Azeem Ibrahim:

Britain is now in accelerated decline - gradual for decades, now at risk of sudden collapse.

My stark verdict: unchecked, UK heading for relative poverty - a deindustrialised, sectarian, indebted island with first-rate pretensions & third-rate power.

I thought the Right viewed the 'relative poverty' metric as a load of cobblers.

Not that kind of relative poverty. The kind where you travel abroad and are shocked that the average standard of living is much better.

So you can call it poverty when comparing with rich foreigners, but not when comparing with richer people in your own country?

Weird distinction.

You have to compare like with like.
