Where is everything about Donald Trump?
We're talking about the man who was basically... Well, that's why they were emerged unscathed on that account.
Some of the people that Peter Manson would have been communicating with will have been people who are deleting messages.
But so many of his conversations were about Donald Trump or the policy around Donald Trump.
There's one point where he talks to Matthew Doyle, who used to be the number 10 director of communications, and says...
oh, I'm worried about Chagos, the Chagos Islands, and policy around that and security.
There's been this big fallout in relations between London and Washington over that more recently.
And after he says to Matthew Dill, I have worries about Chagos Islands, there are asterisks.
Not any more of those big black bits of highlighter.
It's just asterisks because there are pages and pages of redactions.
All of his emails and letters seemingly to the Defence Secretary, or a lot of them...
which of course would contain things with national security elements to them, those are redacted.
Things to Rachel Reeves about the state of the economy and trade deals, those are reacted to.
And I'm sure amongst them, there must be some bitchy, waspish interactions between different people, because privately we know so many people in government do have a slightly different view of Donald Trump than they articulate on the airwaves.
A lot of exchanges.
I'm sure Pat McFadden will be regretting not having disappearing messages on on his WhatsApps.
Although we should point out, and Darren Jones nodded to this in the Commons today...
Is disappearing messages a good thing for transparency in government and for decision making in government?
A lot of people have got out of being held to account for their communications because of that.
I'm not sure we should paint Pat McFadden as being silly for not doing what some of his colleagues have done.
