  1. Dame #MargaretHodge, Baroness Lodge of Barking, is the UK Prime Minister’s "Anti-Corruption Champion". See archive.is/UtIw4

    But on Tuesday's BBC #Newsnight , Hodge DEFENDED #Starmer's staff who tried to make pal-of-paedo #MatthewDoyle an ambassador.

    Hodge claims this is routine job-hunting help. But Doyle could be ambassador only as a political appointee. He'd have been only the 6th political ambassador since 1979. And the #ForeignSecretary was not told. Blatant #corruption.

  2. As #ForeignSecretary, #DavidLamny was a dissembling supporter of Israel while it conducted a #genocide.

    Now he is #LordChancellor & Secretary of State for Injustice. He is gutting the right to #jurytrial, claiming implausibly that it will speed justice. In reality, it's an attempt to eliminate #JuryNullification in trials of #protesters like the #Filton24 and the #Colston4.

    This leaves a great mystery.

    Lammy's politics are horrendous. Why is #Lammy not more hated?

  7. #SimonHarris's statement didn't go as far as I wanted. He didn't label Israel's actions as piracy, and he didn't even mention that the abducted include a member of the Oireachtas: Senator Chris Andrews.

    But it's all a big contrast to the silence of #YvetteCopper, the UK's #ForeignSecretary. Cooper has not made any statement in her own name, even in writing.

  8. The #UK's #Starmer demoted the ridiculous #DavidLammy from #ForeignSecretary to #JusticeSecretary. So Lammy lost use of #Chevening, the Foreign Secretary’s country residence in Kent.

    But he still gets to live in the Foreign Secretary's London house, 'cos his successor #YvetteCooper doesn't want to live there. The Brits formally call it a "grace-and-favour home", but #SnoutsInTrough is more descriptive.

  9. In the last five years, the UK has had 6 Foreign Secretaries and 8 Home Secretaries.

    The instability of the post-2019 #ConservativeParty has been mimicked by the #Starmer's #LabourParty, with his #HomeSecretary and #ForeignSecretary reshuffled after only 14 months.

    Home Secs: Sajid Javid, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman, James Cleverly, Yvette Cooper, Shabana Mahmood

    Foreign Secs: Dominic Raab, Liz Truss, James Cleverly, David Cameron, David Lammy, Yvette Cooper

  10. @ChrisMayLA6 #RachelReeves is by far the least intellectually able #Chancellor ever.

    #DavidLammy was the second-least intellectually able #ForeignSecretary ever (#LizTruss was worse).

    And #YvetteCooper as #HomeSecretary was at best middleweight.

    Collectively, they were the least talented trio ever to hold the UK's three Great Offices of State. Yet the #MSM parroted the #Starmtroopers' absurd boast that this was "the adults back in charge".

  11. '#US blocks #UK from holding court hearing in #British territory #DiegoGarcia

     “That the #BritishIndianOceanTerritory #SupremeCourt has been prevented from sitting in its own territory on Crown land is an extraordinary affront to the #RuleOfLaw and we trust that the #ForeignSecretary will now do everything in his power to ensure that the hearing goes ahead as soon as possible.” theguardian.com/world/article/ #USHubris

  12. Sickened by the needless loss of life and strategic advantage in #Syria from #DavidCameron ‘s insistence on a Commons vote before taking military action. It’s precisely the opposite to what the now #ForeignSecretary then #PM & the rest of the shameless #tories are arguing today. They must really think we’re too thick to notice the hypocrisy & paradox, but it’s all we can see.

  13. Speaker talking about the problem of Foreign Secretary, LORD Cameron, not being a member of HOC but HOL and the ability to scrutinise the Foreign Secretary when there are so many foreign concerns.

  14. Not only has the modern Conservative Party exhausted all of its "talent" for cabinet positions resorting to dredging up the has-beens, Sunak has decided it's sensible to make Foreign Secretary the very person who instigated Britain's downfall and shunning of its neighbours.

  15. CW: UK Pol yet more Tory Corruption. It never ends.

    #JamesCleverly’s use of £10,000 an hour #Succession-style jet ‘ludicrous’

    Exclusive: #UK #ForeignSecretary has been using type of #PrivateJet featured in hit TV show for Caribbean and Latin America tour

  16. Can anyone recommend a good history book on Yugoslavia?

    Asking for Jeremy Hunt.
