Dominic Cummings lashes out in all directions, with campaign critiques for Starmer and Johnson
Dominic Cummings advised Sir Keir Starmer to campaign harder on crime as he launched a two-pronged Twitter attack on Labour and the Tories following Friday's election results. Mr Cummings, chief adviser to Boris Johnson until December last year, took Sir Keir to task over his focus on "media reality" and the "babble" of journalists. "We have a Number 10 and Opposition who see their job as Media Entertainment Service and neither knows how to do this better than TB/Mandy [Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson]," he wrote. "Neither will try to be… a government." Attacking Sir Keir, whom he described as "bad", Mr Cummings also claimed he did not know who the shadow chancellor was until he googled it on Wednesday. "She [Anneliese Dodds] never touched my consciousness in a year," he said, adding that there was "zero impact of any Labour economic message of any kind".

U.S. Senate China bill would create 'chief manufacturing' post in research boost
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senate committee leaders have drafted a compromise $110 billion measure for basic and advanced technology research and science over five years and the creation of a White House chief manufacturing officer in the face of rising competitive pressure from China, according to a copy of the 131-page draft legislation seen on Friday by Reuters. The revised draft bill by Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell and the committee's top Republican Roger Wicker is set to be debated by the committee on Wednesday. The measure, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, Republican Senator Todd Young and others, would also authorize another $10 billion to designate at least 10 regional technology hubs and create a supply chain crisis-response program to address issues like the shortfall in semiconductor chips harming auto production.

GOP Makes a Choice: Donald Trump Over Liz Cheney
House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney departs a news conference with House Republicans on March 11, 2021 in Washington. When Liz Cheney voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump back in January, her fellow Republicans were able to set that aside as a vote of conscience. Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House and a mainstay of conservative politics for decades, told her colleagues that she’d never apologize for sticking with her convictions.
