confirmed to El Reg that the memo is genuine. He added that the
House of Commons network had been “slow for most of the week” and
acting like it was “hand cranked”, although its performance had
improved a bit by Friday once the clean-up operation got under way.

likely to inconvience MPs and other who synchronised their phones
with their desktops, he added.”
