Anyone happen to know what bad news the UK government tried to bury today?

@squeakycheetah every news source in the country will be reporting on the royal wedding and not much else today

Perfect day to put out bad news because nobody will be paying attention

@troubleMoney Well, May is taking a battering in the Lords, so she's trying to get it in favour of her.

@troubleMoney Although, to be really honest, you're really cynnical.

@squeakycheetah for the most part probably

But this is just spin 101, if you have to announce bad stuff, do it on a day when everyone's reporting on something else that's bigger
