@dick_turpin either way Starmer should go. He's either lied or completely incompetent.
I struggle to buy that an FCO civil-servant would make such a decision with out being pressured in advance, or consulting via an undocumented back channel.
And then after it all blew up. You'd have thought the PM might actually go and find out the details. To which it seems he trusted 'a process'. The guy really have no political sense.
@dick_turpin yeh indeed, he's always got an excuse as to why it's someone else fault and they should get sacked.
It's utterly pathetic given he campaigned on being whiter-than-white and was going to fix things up.
He's wasted a big majority and parliamentary time, arresting OAPs for the terrorism offence of holding up a placard.
It seems mr integrity doesn't really have any.
@dick_turpin if the Labour party don't do something to rescue the whole situation I think they're sunk for decades.
@intrbiz That definitely opens the door for ReformUK. I honestly cannot ever envisage the Green Party ever being in power. The Liberal Democrats, Who?
While it grieves me to admit it, I suspect the Conservatives will be a spent force until 2034 the only chance they have is a coelition in 2029 but the public will only allow them to be the junior partner.
@dick_turpin it also feels like he running out of people to blame of it all too.
Can't wait for one of the people he's fires to turn around and stab him in the back.k
