During the @Gatwick water crisis of 2026, there are winners and losers. #itsu helping with open seating. @Pret super helpful. Two fails are @UKjdspoons and @wagamama_uk with the clear customer fail being the Wetherspoon's WALL OF CHAIRS.

NEW: Hours before polls open, an email from the Prime Minister has gone out to civil servants across Whitehall - “Dear Colleagues, One of my first actions as Prime Minister was to record a message to all of you. In it, I said that as public servants, you have my confidence, my support and, importantly, my respect. Since that day, I have seen that respect justified time and again. Whether it is the DWP official helping a family get the support they need, the prison officer keeping us safe, or the policy professional solving the most complex challenges of the age - your work is the backbone of this country. I know that for some of you, particularly those in roles in central government, the events of the last recent weeks have felt unsettling. For many more of you, these headlines might feel a world away from your daily work. But wherever you serve, I want to be clear: these events do not define the Civil Service. At the Cabinet meeting a fortnight ago, I spoke with my colleagues about the vital importance of the partnership between politicians and officials. We are one team. My Government’s priorities - from tackling the cost of living to rebuilding the NHS and making our streets safer - cannot be delivered by ministers alone. They require your expertise, your challenge, and your dedication. I know that the Cabinet Secretary is focused on delivering these priorities working with all of you to serve the public in the best interests of our country. To those who feel exposed by recent scrutiny, let me say this: I value the "speaking truth to power" that is the hallmark of our system. I want a culture where information flows freely, where risks are flagged early, and where we work together to solve problems before they become crises. The relationship between a minister and their officials relies on a bedrock of total transparency. Without that trust, the partnership that sits at the heart of our constitution cannot function. We are fixing the processes that have failed, but we are not changing the fundamental value we place on your role. My ask of you is to continue acting with the pride and professionalism that brought you into public service. Continue to provide the honest, rigorous advice that makes our government better. The service you give this country matters. My confidence in the integrity and dedication of the Civil Service remains absolute. We have a huge job to do for the British people, and we will do it together. Sir Keir Starmer Prime Minister”
