ooh PM @CommonsLiaison - first question on #netzero and whether COP unit needs more resources - "well staffed" but will be beefed up through the year. PM talking up NZ commitments (but big question will be what about 2030)?
@CommonsLiaison Now Jones pointing out policy contradictions..(Cumbria, APD, aid cut) PM points to NDC (68% by 2030 over 1990) and "incredible record of doing it.." PM seems very on this... "colossal amount done"
@CommonsLiaison now on to Oneweb ... did PM sign the cheque -- this is a more flustered answer...were he and the CX involved? "whole of govt commitment" - BEIS does space strategy..
@CommonsLiaison PM denies knowledge of Cameron contacts on Greensill - any such contacts will be properly recorded.. ...

Its bureaucrat day @ukandeu #Brexitwitnessarchive where we feature interviews with former UK perm rep Ivan Rogers and former Commission official Jonathan Faull - two sides of the Cameron renegotiation. Ivan is as forthright as you might expect.
Rogers takes the view that the 2011 European Council was a key turning point - when David Cameron realised a veto was not enough
lots of gory details on how we got there.. and lots of Whitehall recriminations afterwards.. but what mattered is where it ended up

Eek = legal advice on govt aid cut puts them on dicey ground bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
this raises questions about internal legal advice (remember the Foreign Secretary was once an FCO lawyer) and the judgement of the permanent secretary Philip Barton - should he have asked for a direction?
The International Development Act is vague.. it looks as though its about a retrospective miss - not a plan for a "temporary" cut.. may now be tested in the courts.

I think what this shows is a different regulatory mindset.. the German and French regulators wanted unequivocal proof AZ worked well enough in older age groups before they authorised it..
the MHRA adopted a more speculative approach and looked at the balance of risks.. was it reasonable based on the evidence they had to assume efficacy in older age groups.. they concluded as JVT said yesterday that it was...
they could also weigh that against the costs of regulator hesitancy .. far fewer people would be vaccinated if they delayed authorisation of AZ ... and good sruveillance meant that they could pick up if their assumption was confounded..

we have got a new @UKandEU set of #Brexitwitnessarchive interviews out this week - and on Wednesday our very own @hayward_katy is on a panel @instituteforgov talking about the Johnson NI protocol. so let's see how we got there... THREAD!!!!
all the Cabinet members we talked about agreed on the importance for May of not destablising Northern ireland - and her gradual realisation of the threat Brexit posed - this from @DLidington
and as he reminds us there was a pretty unbalanced view from Parliament in 2017-19 with the wipe-out of the SDLP and Sinn Fein abstentionism

.@UKandEU have just released a next wave of our #BrexitWitnessArchive - not as box office as Philip Hammond but intriguing nonetheless. a few tasters. Let me start with @GavinBarwell
That leadership contest did Theresa May no favours on Brexit. No chance to put some flesh on what her - rather than a purist Leadsom Brexit might look like Image
After the election, Barwell was tapped up to become Chief of Staff. Here are his tips on how to establish a connection with a notoriously buttoned up boss Image
