Here is the rewritten text in a more readable format:
**Good morning**
I'm Andrew Sullivan, and I'll be taking your questions today. If you have a question or topic you'd like to discuss, please post it below the line when comments are open (normally between 10am and 3pm at the moment). Alternatively, feel free to message me on social media.
**The agenda for the day**
* 9:30am: NHS England publishes its monthly performance figures
* Morning: Wes Streeting, the health secretary, is on a visit in Liverpool
* Morning: Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, is on a visit where she is due to speak to the media
* 11:30am: Downing Street holds a lobby briefing
* Morning: Keir Starmer is on a visit to promote the news that the government is going ahead with the construction of the UK's first small modular nuclear reactors at Wylfa on Anglesey
* Noon: John Swinney, Scotland's first minister, takes questions at Holyrood
* 2pm: Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan police commissioner, and Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, are questioned by the London assembly
**News and analysis**
* Ed Miliband has said he is certain Keir Starmer will sack whoever was responsible for the briefing against Wes Streeting if they are identified.
* The briefing backfired, because it ended up looking like a hit-job on Streeting, who is the cabinet minister whose leadership ambitions are most blatant.
* Ed Miliband told Sky News that Labour needs to focus on the country, not itself. "We were given a historic mandate last July, a historic opportunity to change our country. And we have a historic responsibility."
* The UK economy expanded by just 0.1% in the quarter from July to September as the crippling cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover hit manufacturing.
**Other news**
* Scotland's auditor general has warned that the Scottish government can spend far less tax than it raises because Scotland's earnings and employment growth have been much more sluggish than in the rest of the UK.
* Keir Starmer is on a visit to promote the news that the government is going ahead with the construction of the UK's first small modular nuclear reactors at Wylfa on Anglesey.
**How to contact me**
If you want to flag something up urgently, it's best to use social media. You can reach me on Bluesky at @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social. The Guardian has given up posting from its official accounts on X, but individual Guardian journalists are there, I still have my account, and if you message me there at @AndrewSparrow, I will see it and respond if necessary.
**I find it very helpful when readers point out mistakes**
No error is too small to correct. And I find your questions very interesting too. I can't promise to reply to them all, but I will try to reply to as many as I can, either below the line or sometimes in the blog.
