Entertaining as this spat is, it contains not-a-flicker of recognition as to WHY this might be happening.
For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

I've just told the boiler service man that we can’t pay him for repairing our boiler and that he should do it purely for the exposure since that’s just the way things work nowadays.

Insta offered me 2 videos this morning, both called "None of this is normal". In one, a lady expresses her frustration & incredulity at this time, in the 2nd, a neuroscientist offers an explanation & way forward. It was incredibly reassuring. I just love science, don't you?

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

We've received a Reform mailing about next year's London Mayor election. No mention of who their candidate is, just Farage.
What do you reckon, a 'subject access request' and 'return to sender'?

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.
