Leaked e-mails and Farage as replacement?

I think they have elegran it’s the rest of the country that’s bringing about this disaster

The thinking of a potential dictator - everyone must agree with him. He's been taking lessons from Putin and Trump.

This is a democracy, not a one-party oligarchy led by a supremo. It is more British to say "anyone in UK government who doesn’t believe in freedom of thought and diversity of opinion should be removed." I don't know why the alarm bells haven't been ringing in the ears of every intelligent person in the country.

This is the face of fascism

Farage said that anyone in UK civil service or military who doesn’t believe in Brexit should be removed. My jaw dropped. This is outrageous. It is fascistic to apply a single issue to determine “loyalty” as if we were in a war of religion. Shame on him.

Of course, Trump is such a courteous and refined gentleman that he wouldn't dream of making inappropriate and offensive remarks about anybody, so it's no wonder he was so upset.

I don't think so varian (but what do I know)

The links in Whitewave's post were interesting.
Plus Boris having been Foreign Secretary
Plus Trump prefers that Boris becomes PM

Putin pulling strings again????

So
@BorisJohnson
happy to shaft
@KimDarroch
when it suited him then ‘reach out to him’ when it suddenly looks like a resignation might damage him. Leaders without moral compass get found out very quickly.

The leaked communications range over the last two years. So yes Boris would almost certainly have known of at least the ‘tone’ of them and certainly have been aware of Sir Kim’s views on Trump. I hadn’t thought of that - interesting point Call.

Darroch resignation is explosive

Sir Alan Duncan, a foreign office minister and Hunt backer, tells BBC:

‘Boris Johnson has basically thrown our ambassador under a bus’

He says the way Boris treated Sir Kim , by refusing to guarantee his future, is ‘contemptible’

I still would ask just how secure these diptechs are, as hackers become ever more sophisticated.

Your post shows just who could benefit, Wwm2
The leaked emails are not just recent, apparently over two years and who was Foreign Secretary until 2018?

I don’t think she has any judgement at all - as for doing anything in the national interest theres only one interest she acts in. The Cameron/pig’s head story was typical of her and I think in the end she had to almost admit that she’d no evidence for it. But even if she had, so what?

How did Oakshott arrive at the decision that to report this was in the national interest?

I seriously question her judgement.

Has anyone seen the spider graph linking her to Farage, Bannon. Trump, Banks, and Johnson amongst others?

"The British Ambassador to Washington reported the widely accepted fact that the Trump White House is dysfunctional and incompetent. He would have been derelict in his duty had he not reported that to the government of one of the US’ closest allies.

It is, for example, vital that the defence secretary knows this if he is approached to join the US in a foreign adventure, or for the trade secretary to be wary before we are forced to seek a new trading relationship after Brexit.

As John Crace tweeted about the Darroch affair: “Not quite sure why UK ambassador to US passing on accurate confidential information to his employers is a story. Shouldn’t Mail on Sunday be more horrified that someone leaked this to @IsabelOakeshott.”

This idiot thinks ambassadors deal in trade deals

@TiceRichard

Darroch has finally made the right decision. The Tory Govt look ridiculous for having tried to defend the indefensible. Now it’s time for a pro Brexit businessman to be appointed who can lead a quick US trade deal.

Sir Trump??????

I wonder if she’ll recommend him for a peerage in her resignation honours list? (Sir Kim that is not Trump)

Let’s hope May changes the habit of a life time and acts outside her little box. She could appoint another ambassador of her choosing.

Urm ??

Perhaps we should now send Olly Robbins out there instead and tell him ‘now go and do some good!’

And saying that it is difficult to predict the outcome of any issue does not state clearly that the unpredictability is rooted in Trump himself.

Sorry meant to say inept does not equal ‘does not always react in the way previous presidents have’. That was pretty inept of me ?

David inept does no equal ‘difficult to predict the outcome of any issue ‘. It means clumsy, showing or having no skill, incompetent, inexpert, crude - or in undiplomatic language bloody useless. Given what we know of Trump, I think Sir K was very restrained.

It’s all about finding the leaker now.

Kim Darroch was doing what his government was paying him to do.

However (not his fault) someone read his reports & leaked them. This made his position untenable.

Diplomatic language is for diplomatic exchanges. Reports to senior bosses are bald fact, stated as clearly as possible. The ambassador is not a green beginner, he has been sending these reports all his diplomatic life. We haven't seen his previous ones, but presumably they were just as robust.

He has a right to trust those who have access to his securte corespondence.

Perfectly summed up Elegran
