Here in London, we've just heard from Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner on the alleged US data breach reports.
Rayner tells the BBC's World at One programme that she "doesn't have much more to add" in response to US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly accusing Europe of "free-loading" off the US.
Refusing to "pre-empt" what Hesgeth might have meant by his comments, Rayner adds: "I don't recognise that there is a challenge between the UK and US relations, they are as strong as they've always been."
In the Signal chat, Vice-President JD Vance also appeared to take aim at UK-EU relations, when an account bearing his name commented: "I just hate bailing Europe out again."
Rayner notes that "people say things in private messaging," and adds: "It's for the vice-president to decide and to clarify what he means by those conversations".
