There's been an inquiry, not by the media.

Once again I've been overlooked.

Now people will say 'it's because you're not qualified' or 'you're not an MP' and 'who are you?' but we all know the real reason.

Nor by the police which Williamson wants.

Well he may get his wish.

Doubt he did the dirty deed himself he'll have told one of his political advisers to do it. Still makes him guilty. Political gain ahead of National Security. Sums this Govt up, backstabbing each other at the expense of the Country.
Not so much like 'The Thick of It', just a Thick Idiot.

Nailed it! :D
He was always out of his depth in that role so was an inadvertent threat to national security. So am pleased he's now away from a position of responsibility.

I thought this was quite interesting from Theresa May's statement:
Quote:

"That is why I commissioned the cabinet secretary to establish an investigation into the unprecedented leak from the NSC meeting last week, and why I expected everyone connected to it - ministers and officials alike - to comply with it fully. You undertook to do so.

"I am therefore concerned by the manner in which you have engaged with this investigation."

Is it because you associate with the wrong types on social media? ;)

Whoever did leak, did right thing to bring the Huawei deal we’ve supposedly done in to public domain, who can honestly sit here and be comfortable with the concept of a private Chinese company, in which China’s government has its hand in, setting up the future 5G network in this country?

It’s like asking Russia to provide us with a super fast email service.

l certainly would not be comfortable over that but nothing surprises me as l suspect governments now and in the past have had their tentacles in many other things without the public having any knowledge of it at all until someone leaks.

There's no deal to be leaked, Mick. Huawei is a potential 5G supplier to mobile networks like O2. The report leaked was a confidential risk assessment that supported the careful use of Huawei technology.as is done at the moment with 3G, 4G and broadband.

Has anyone worked out what we call Gavin Williamson now?

'Disgraced Former Secretary of Defence' is a position still occupied by Disgraced Former Secretary of Defence Liam Fox...
