Grayling is not going to be head of Intelligence Watchdog

[William of Walworth]

Well duh. Was more commenting on the Guardian's eagerness to give a contrived government deflection statement prominence in order to bury Corbynism a little deeper.

Looks to me (?) right now (from online Guardian UK) that the story you're talking about is being overtaken in prominence by this :
(admittedly it's currently just-breaking news by the look of it)

Russian state-sponsored hackers target Covid-19 vaccine researchers
UK National Cyber Security Centre says drug firms and research groups being targeted by group known as APT29

 

[Teaboy]

yeh let's see if it was worth waiting for

Probably won't be. It is a bit curious that the government have dragged their feet though.

So now Raab is briefing the press about Russia's involvement in leaking documents regarding a post Brexit US trade deal in 2019. This was known about in 2019 wasn't it? It's not remotely a new story. Presumably the Guardian is happy to run with this because Starmer the fucking charmer isn't implicated and the more shit that gets slung at Tories and Corbynites the better.

Maybe I'm just being thick, but I'm not seeing the connection with Corbynism.

Leaked documents relating to US - UK trade agreements that Corbyn waved around at press conferences.

Right. That kind of shit should be public knowledge in the first place. We're all participants in the global economy, and we all need as much correct information as we can get our hands on. Why the fuck shouldn't we be privy to such information?

They could have been leaked by anyone but it all part of a smokescreen to deflect from the publication of the Russia report next week. Yes the truth should be out there as the electorate deserved to know.

John Bercow sums it up nicely.

Russia Report to be published tomorrow morning.

I have a feeling it will be like the black spider memos, except for something about Aaron Banks

there won't be anything about aaron banks in there. arron banks, on the other hand, may be mentioned.

I'm pretty sure arron banks won't be mentioned either, although perhaps Arron Banks will.

I did pause after the first A but didn't think he was worth the courtesy of googling to check.

Impaling.

Grayling had a huge lobworm trotted in front of him and fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Maybe they’ll parachute him behind enemy lines. Enemy yet to be decided.

Yes, she changed her name from Max and then went on to be the love interest of a minor Dr Who in a Very Peculiar Practice.

Along with Edward Leigh and Tony Kerpel, Lewis set up the Coalition for Peace Through Security with the intention of destroying CND and the Left by dragging them through the courts.
