Mr Miliband doesn’t do the homework
Mr Miliband was tongue tied again following his statement to the Commons on Russian extradition.
When asked what level of diplomats he was expelling, he showed he had understood the question but was quite unable to answer it.
In this he is typical of this government - the department advised evicting four diplomats and he said "Yes". He should first have asked, which ones, what might the Russians do in retaliation, how will it leave our embassy in Moscow etc.
I have?? no problem with sending a strong message to Russia that their refusal to extradite is unacceptable to us.I do expect the Foreign Secretary to have thought through who we would expel, and what that might mean if Russia retaliates against our Embassy on Moscow.
It is high time these Ministers devoted more time to the day job and less time to spinning in the media about the special relationship.
John Redwood has been the Member of Parliament for Wokingham since 1987. First attending Kent College, Canterbury, he graduated from Magdalen College...
And if he’s one of their ‘most talented’ one cannot help but wonder, what the lesser skilled ministers are doing?
