So far, the Cabinet Office has insisted that any “irrelevant” material should be redacted, in order to protect policy-forming and privacy.
The public is left wondering: "What are they trying to hide?"

Beware: the obstacle is NOT Boris Johnson, who has committed to sharing his WhatsApps and notes.
It's messages from serving ministers and officials at stake now, including, possibly, from PM Rishi Sunak.

On this I can agree with @Dominic2306, and go further.
#SW1 #IT and #IG has been in a parlous state for well over a DECADE, and more.

..of #PersonalData they held. (Initially just the ones containing over 1 million records.)
I'll have to dig up the responses, but I clearly remember only 4 or 5 (out of 24) even had an #InformationAssetRegister, i.e. just a basic list of all the #databases for which they were...

1/9: The #UK government will soon publish its #IntegratedReview of defence, security, development & #ForeignPolicy. This is an important inflection point: we need a comprehensive, credible vision of the #GlobalBritain agenda after #Brexit. What to expect?.. a thread..
2/9: The #IntegratedReview will set principles to guide individual policies, advocating agile, global British reach in support of democratic values. Johnson’s strap-line is “#UK as a force for good”. But lofty principles will only be credible if hard, practical choices are made.
3/9: Much will be orthodox: supporting effective #multilateralism, rule of law, open #trade. I expect strong commitment to the #US relationship (whatever some say, #Biden is a godsend for Johnson) & lots about the fashionable but nebulous concept of an “#IndoPacific tilt”.
