EXCL: I've been leaked a personal minute from Boris Johnson to cabinet ministers in which he says wants to turn the public GOV.UK site into a platform for "targeted and personalised" data to be gathered in the run-up to Brexit. buzzfeed.com/alexspence/bor…

Govt spox tells me this is normal and legal, the data is anonymised, and it’s only about improving the efficiency of GOV.UK. OK, so why is it being done now with haste, and through the no-deal XO committee? They had no answer for that. buzzfeed.com/alexspence/bor…
Govt departments have been told to urgently share data they collect about GOV.UK usage with the Cabinet Office's GDS unit.
In an email, Dominic Cummings told senior officials this was "TOP PRIORITY". buzzfeed.com/alexspence/bor…
Leaked docs show the plan is to add extra tracking to GOV.UK users so the Cabinet Office can "have data for the entire journey of a user", from point of entry "through the service journey to completion". At present, analytics are collected by individual depts.

Three suggestions next time you write about immigration:
1. Check Gov.Uk website. You could have seen we've had a points based system since 2008 if you looked.
2. Ask an immigration lawyer to fact check.
3. Maybe ask a migrant about how immigration works? 😉
