Defence Secretary

[bobbymax]

Is this Government the Leeds United of politics - the gift that just keeps on giving! PS, if he has divulged state secrets he should be off to the big house.

[The Red Baron]

He denies it, but you could say he would, wouldn't he? I thought at the outset there should be a police enquiry, but May is going to look very stupid if it exonerates Williamson.

Personally I wouldn't trust a bloke who keeps a live spider as a pet as far as I could throw him.

[Glyn_Wigley]

He maintains that it's nothing to do with him. I want the first question he faces to be 'As you say its not you, do you think that whoever has leaked this information and dropped you in it should face criminal proceedings?'

[Dagenham Rover]

Ive no doubt hes bound by the Official Secrets Act as I am still  Now if I spilled the beans on something I'd be nicked and charged even now so.................................... But it also throws up the point and just google who is on the UK board of Huweii.................................

They're really not very good are they?

In the two years since the last election, they've lost (to sackings and resignations)
1 Home Secretary
1 Foreign Secretary
2 Brexit Secretaries
2 Defence Secretaries
1 Work and Pensions Secretary
1 Cabinet Office Secretary
1 Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
2 Ministers for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation
2 Ministers for Small Business
1 Minister for Business and Industry

...f**k it...I give up at that.

Strong and Stable eh? Strong and Stable.

Those are stats that would disgrace a banana republic. It's unbelievable the damage this lot are doing to the country! For Strong and Stable, read Wrong and Incapable.

Precisely. We've become inured to this chaos in Government, but it's impossible to overstate how abnormal this is.

We are a great country with a great heritage and a history of governmental stability. And it is falling apart around us because of the cancer of Brexit that is eating the Tory party from the inside.

It's shocking to be honest and it's going to take us a generation to recover our balance from this.

Like I've been hammering on about for the past 3 years, there is only one world leader who benefits from the UK being laid low like this.

I'll get off my Brexit rant for a moment and remember that Williamson has been sacked over a leak regarding Huawei.

As this tweet says, it's strange to think why the Tories have chosen Huawei for the 5G roll out when several of our allies have barred them for security reasons.

Can't think why Huawei have been able to make such a persuasive pitch to the Govt...

Perhaps Grayling had the castung vote 😂😂😂

[The Red Baron]

A couple of points here. Firstly the discussions of the National Security Council should not be leaked. The leak should be probed by the police and if anyone is found to have made or authorized the leak they should face prosecution.

On the other hand, I can't help feeling that whoever has leaked the information has done the country a massive favour. Although maybe if the leaker had just resigned it would have been better.

  I'm still bound by the official secrets act but could certainly tell a tale or two about by time in the forces that could get me into trouble..However I smell a big rat with this one..Williamson was seen as a big threat,a May lieutenant who had made many enemy's along the way especially in the treasury..

  This enquiry was very quick to take place and you would have thought if they had much on him he would have skulked off into the shadows to keep his powder dry for a return when May goes but he isn't having anything of it...I suspect he's been stitched up like a kipper..

May is just following the policy first established by David Cameron of the British Prime Minister having their tongue firmly entrenched up the Chinese Government's arse because we are desperate for their business to help prop up the British economy.

Out of the frying pan and back to the fireplaces!

So what is it that May, Cameron and their cronies know - and the rest of the world doesn't?
