BREAK - @metpoliceuk announce that they believe a "small bottle" found on Wednesday was the source of #novichok that killed a British citizen and left a second critically ill in hospital #Skripal #Salisbury
The small bottle was found during search of Charlie Rowley's house in #Amesbury. Scientists at Porton Down ran tests to confirm a substance it contained is #novichok. Further tests will be conducted to establish whether this is the same batch as was used against the #Skripals
Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, Head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing, said: “This is clearly a significant and positive development."

In Singapore with @Jeremy_Hunt who is talking about “Britain’s role in a post-Brexit world”
@Jeremy_Hunt “The UK probably has better connections across the globe than nearly any other country. But we cannot depend on sentiment or affection to be relevant to others. Nor should we assume that because of past achievements others will have an interest in our future success.”
@Jeremy_Hunt JH: “As we leave the European Union, Britain can draw encouragement from how Singapore’s separation from the Peninsula did not make it more insular but more open. In Lee Kuan Yew’s phrase, 1965 marked the moment when Singapore “plugged into the international economic grid”.”

EXCLUSIVE: GPs for @BritishArmy @RoyalNavy & @RoyalAirForce warn that chronic IT failures at military medical practices are putting lives at risk. They accuse @DefenceHQ of refusing to acknowledge problem despite raising alarm since 2016.

@BritishArmy @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @DefenceHQ @Smyth_Chris A log of IT woe makes grim reading & counters MoD insistence that there’s no issue. One GP I spoke to said stress caused when patient care is endangered by computers freezing, printers malfunctioning & data being lost is worse than deploying to Afghanistan

@BritishArmy @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @DefenceHQ @Smyth_Chris Doctors say @DefenceHQ data that only 53 “significant event reports” have been recorded out of 4.8 million GP consultations in the past two years fails to capture true picture. This is because only a fraction of the glitches are officially recorded 1/2

FRIGATE FARCE UPDATE: Decision to suspend competition for Type 31e frigate is more about uncertainty over #MDP & @DefenceHQ budget than compliance of bids. Serious doubt about whether ships will materialise, while 2023 delivery date is “cloud cuckoo land”
bit.ly/2OesioM
REMEMBER: These are “Fallon frigates”. Michael Fallon as defence secretary trumpeted Type 31e budget warship as his answer to stopping surface fleet shrinking when Type 26 became too expensive to buy all 13 ships required. Many said a credible £250mln warship was a pipe dream 1/2
Now it seems there’s not even £ for a budget warship, while @DefenceES realises limitations a £250mln cap imposes. Given submarine threat, what use is a frigate without means to operate in hostile waters? @GavinWilliamson suggested ASW capabilities for T31 but that costs £ 2/2

⑰ days after the /alleged/ poisoning of Sergey & Yuliya #Skripal, we have no word of their condition or their whereabouts. The Russian consul has been refused information about & contact with YS. @SalisburyNHS has not seen them. Everything points to a STAGED EVENT.
👉#SARUM_HOAX #Новичок😝
The #Novichok angle is a red herring. We have no reason to believe a word coming out of Porton Down @dstlmod, since this is a secret @DefenceHQ establishment with no public accountability. @OPCW has been totally discredited with the #Khan_Sheikhun affair.
