So Much For Global Britain

No more British Consulate-General at St Petersburg, then. When, exactly, was this maritime, trading nation in Northern Europe last in that position? And the British Council kicked out of Russia. Notice that it had been functioning there until yesterday, and indeed flourishing there until yesterday. Some enemy territory, that.

Gavin Williamson used to be Chief Whip. People walk the earth who have at some point been frightened of Gavin Williamson. People sit in Parliament who have at some point been frightened of Gavin Williamson.

Around one in 13 Labour MPs have declared their opposition to Jeremy Corbyn's position on Russia, as on everything else. You cannot move for their faces and voices. Yet easily that proportion of Labour MPs, a larger absolute figure in those days, opposed Tony Blair over many things. What coverage did they ever receive?

Meanwhile, as Turkey moves into Afrin and beyond, it moves closer and closer to war with the United States. We need to get the hell out of NATO before it gets us into hell. And the anti-Corbyn media tarts need to get the hell out of the way.
