    Email is asynchronous If I am busy I might look at my mail briefly at lunch and the you know do the work that I need to do if you have something urgent speak to me and don't assume I stop every 10 minutes to read all my new mail.

    Doing this repeatedly is likely to make me complain informally or formally to your manager.

    Apps how quaint.

    Real programmers TM quit often kick off jobs that they want to run to completion not every thing is the latest "Wasp T12 Speechtool" toy app for a phone or tablet.

    Well it does mean that a PM or any senior minster has to be able do ad hoc public speaking well - and shows control of their own party (the main advantage of PMQ according to Margaret Thatcher)

    No hes an ex met police chief who was sacked by Boris for being not up to the job. And given that the Met where involved in a major way corruptly giving secret information to the tabloids you would think that he should keep quiet. Also the private secret service the union for chief constables were running infiltrating protest groups is worrying.

    The uk has experimented with having police involved in CT before (head of MI5) it was a disaster and thats what the official history says.
