    UK media has been barred from disclosing it until now.

    How had it not been ‘leaked’ to foreign media and reported on? It is nothing short of disgusting that the government can act with such impunity when they decide to do something that they are fully aware would generate harsh criticism.

    Nothing that the government do or decide upon should be banned from the media, with the exception of where it may affect children in a negative way.

    The whole reason that they are in their positions are because people who trusted them gave them their vote. It absolutely flies a massive “fuck you” in the face of that.

      It was. Zarah Sultana even raised the issue using parliamentary privilege a couple of weeks ago. Sadly not enough people noticed.

      It was. I’ve known about this for weeks, so any anglophone journalist probably has as well. They don’t want to report on it.
