I mean, the reality is that the email (from DCMS) was designed as a 'we've expressed our concerns' type response if the relevant Minister / SoS needed a line for media rounds.
As for the article itself, there's nothing terribly new in there - including the line around contingencies being considered around an election (but just for the record, these conversations will - and do - routinely also happen in case, for example, a senior figure has a serious bout of a tummy bug. So: it's probably no great surprise that Edwards's situation isn't clear but I wouldn't overread the election planning stuff (for my two pence).
