No, not Boris Johnson for failing to support Sir Kim Darroch, that was just typical gutless behaviour on Bojo’s part.
No I am referring to the editor and journalists at the Daily Mail. Only an idiot would fail to see that publishing secret ambassadorial communications would be extremely damaging to UK interests. However, this was not just a failure of political naivety.
Other than reporting that the Washington Ambassador reads the local newspapers and keeps in touch with White House staffers there was nothing new in the Mail report that had not been widely reported in the Washington Post etc. Instead this was a calculated move by the Mail to damage British interests.
The Mail’s report was a calculated traitorous action and the staff of the Daily Mail should be prosecuted for these traitorous actions to the full extent of the law.
