One single person chanted “oh Jeremy Corbyn” as Starmer began his Labour conference speech.

“Get a life,” another shouted back. #lab21
Starmer is dealing with isolated but persistent heckling.

“Shouting slogans or changing lives”? he puts to the conference
There were even heckles as Starmer described seeing his very ill mum in intensive care
The hecklers won’t like this… directly echoing Tony Blair, Starmer says “education is so important I’m tempted to say it 3 times”

Update @Jacob_Rees_Mogg: He has conceded on his podcast he was wrong to claim @HuffPostUK had doctored the recording we were leaked of Dominic Raab on human rights.

He also wrongly claims our report was "inaccurate in its quotation".
He also says @HuffPostUK left "a false impression as to what has been said".

Reminder: Raab reconfirmed yesterday that what we quoted is, in fact, government policy.

He also claimed The Times reported the story "fairly", but @HuffPostUK didn't. Both stories contained the exact same quotes from Raab.

Asked to apologise, Mogg said: "I don’t suffer from that particular temptation.”

Boris Johnson writes to Keir Starmer to highlight the fact that the guidance on care homes was written when there was no community transmission.

But it was not replaced until March 13, eight days after CMO Chris Whitty said there WAS community transmission.
This means the advice was still that infection in care homes was "very unlikely" for eight days while coronavirus was being spread in the community.

There were also 798 cases and 10 deaths before new guidance was issued.
Here is that revelation from Whitty on March 5

EXC Frustrated home secretary Priti Patel orders officials to explain the status of the long-awaited grooming gang ethnicity review

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/grooming…
Her predecessor Sajid Javid ordered the review in July 2018 but Patel has been met with “obfuscation” from Home Office officials when asking what’s happening with it.
“She’s not best pleased,” a source said.
Ex-senior prosecutor @nazirafzal says the lack of proper research into the disproportionate number of mainly Pakistani-heritage men involved in grooming is “exploited by the far-right”

Long-ish read following several chats with Tory backbenchers this week. Increasing numbers numbers are considering a no-deal Brexit as a viable 'plan B'.

One Remain-voting ex-minister says: "When I go to constituency events and say I voted Remain but I would rather we were ‘all in’ or ‘all out’ everyone nods their heads and see it as entirely reasonable."
We'll still have food, says a senior Leaver: “We won’t be able to get certain foods like bananas or tomatoes but it’s not like we won’t be able to eat. And we’ll be leaving at a time when British produce is beginning to come into season so it’s the best possible time to leave.”

DExEU won't say in response to my FOI if it has analysed regional impact of Brexit because doing so could trigger a "reactionary" response
It comes after ex-DExEU chief of staff @jameschappers claimed it had analysis showing Scotland and the North East of England would lose most
And it comes as @JolyonMaugham and @MollyMEP threaten legal action unless DExEU publish economic analysis of Brexit in 14 days
