About us

Whitehall Minute republishes official news from United Kingdom's public news services that explicitly allow republication, as soon as it is released. We add speed, a clean and fast reading experience, automatically selected key points for every story, strict photo-rights checks and local-time timestamps.

We are independent of the government and of the news services we carry. Official sources present the official point of view; every story is labelled with its publisher so you always know who is speaking.

Who we are

Whitehall Minute is an independent digital publication. It is not part of, funded by or affiliated with the UK government or any political party.

How we are funded

Whitehall Minute is funded by advertising. Advertisers have no influence over which stories appear. Ads are clearly labelled and are not shown on pages about deaths, attacks or disasters.
