"Johnson’s brief time as foreign secretary was not regarded as a success. Indeed, we have little proof that he has a clear idea of what he thinks UK foreign policy should be, other than to leave the European Union, which he has achieved."
"The pandemic has understandably occupied much government bandwidth, yet without it we would still be shackled with a Cabinet unable or unwilling to speak truth to power."
"There is a broader cost to this malaise, and to Raab’s dereliction of duty in reportedly not making the call to try and save the lives of Afghan interpreters who have assisted British troops."
"What now is UK foreign policy? Not only with regards to Afghanistan, but our broad strategic goals?"
May all the Saints preserve us, should those in Afghanistan ever adopt the guiding 'principles' evident in every action executed by #LiarJohnson!!

"At present all we have is “Global Britain”, a campaigning phrase, not an overarching policy framework. For decades, UK foreign policy has been to influence the United States by seeking to be its closest, most reliable ally."

"Ben Wallace: 'Labour long on criticism, very short on solutions'"
Can UK Government possibly have NO ideas?!?
IMHO How can anyone possibly have confidence in a cabal of politicians that are but a parody of a Government - UK Government!

Last I heard, @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour represent HMO - the Opposition to HMG, if only UK had a UK Government!!

"Theresa May asked her predecessor whether British intelligence was so poor that we didn't foresee the Taliban's rapid march on Kabul. Did the UK government fail to understand - or ignore - the fragility of the Afghan government and forces?"
"The implication of her questioning plain to see: that the prime minister did know all this and had failed to act."
Stating the obvious, I know but, does anyone else have deja vu regarding #Russia Report and failure of Tory UK Governments to act regarding threat posed to UK?

"Ms May also upbraided her successor on the broader strategic matter of leadership and Britain's foreign policy objectives. Was the UK reduced to just being the poodle of the US?"
"Why had Mr Johnson not even attempted to step up form an alternative alliance with NATO allies after the US stepped back?"
Evidently #LiarJohnson and UK Government; complicit by virtue of 'collective responsibility', as too, are Tory Pary supporters, have burned their 'yachts'!

Perhaps Brexit was one too many bridges destroyed by #LiarJohnson - UK & nations worldwide are expected to pay the price of his shenanigans!
Substandard efforts hardly justify the over-inflated rhetoric - "Build Back Better"!!
Ye shall be judged on your actions!

"What does it say about us as a country? What does it say about NATO that we are entirely dependent on a unilateral decision taken by the US," she asked a chastened PM.
"I'm afraid this has been a major setback for British foreign policy. We boast about Global Britain, but where is Global Britain on the streets of Kabul?"
"The world is now a little more dangerous. The West's enemies emboldened, NATO weakened, and a humanitarian crisis that knows no borders on the horizon."
"Twenty years of progress undone and a tragedy unfolding as we - in the words of Foreign Affairs Select Committee Chair Tom Tugendhat - swap "patient achievement for a second fire and a second war"."

The same might be said of the even greater tragedy of Brexit - Forty-Seven years of progress undone and a tragedy unraveling as UK trudges along the path to the very dark and gloomy days of old!
Destination -> OBSCURITY!
Destination -> OBSCURITY!
But alas, There's no rest for the wicked, as the saying goes!
Do UK citizens have any right of say in these matters that threaten our very existence?
Do UK citizens deserve to have a UK Government they can have confidence in?
Events & circumstances surely demand that they do!
