Those behind the ongoing right-wing coup against British citizens have managed to achieve the seemingly impossible; they've united the House in almost universal condemnation of their attack on Sir Kim Darroch as witnessed during @TomTugendhat urgent question to @AlanDuncanMP 1/8
It took no time at all for @BenPBradshaw to link the disgraceful attack to people who have form when it comes to attempting to pervert justice and damage our country's wellbeing and international standing 2/8
@RichardBenyonMP of the intelligence committee, praises Sir Kim Darroch and then issues a veiled threat that "all the agencies at resource of the government will be used and those, who will be found to have done it, will really regret it" 3/8
When even arch Brexiters such as Mark Francois are at pains to distance themselves from this act of betrayal, you know those responsible, once identified, will receive little sympathy 4/8
Treachery! @SDoughtyMP hits the nail on the head, "We need to call this out for what it is, the individual or individuals responsible for this leak have betrayed this country" 5/8
Given the association between the "journalist" involved in these leaks and Arron Banks, who is under investigation by the NCA over overseas donations, @IanCLucas spells out the need to investigate the role of 'hostile powers" in this leak, the minister doesn't disagree! 6/8
There's always one and, of course, that dubious dishonour fell to @BillCashMP who, refreshingly, was roundly condemned by all sides of the House and not just the Minister.7/8
Great closing clip from @ChrisM4Chester who outlines the tactics and the strategy of the ongoing right-wing coup and asks the minister, "Isn't it about time we put a stop to these people who are undermining how British politics works?" 8/8
