    It’s the ill-informed, knee-jerk response from your usual numb-nuts when asked for an opinion on the sh*tshow currently occupying Westminster. There’ll be another one along in a minute, probably decrying Corbyn as an IRA terrorist.

    I’ll attempt, Corbyn is the fall-back on everything when Tories and their sympathisers know something has ( yet again) gone tits- up and they can’t excuse it. Desperation breeds desperation but when you have a hugely biased press and media in your favour it certainly helps your cause.

    It’s the default option. Any random subject throw an insult at Jeremy Corbyn without giving an actual opinion on the initial subject. Absolutely beggars belief really.

    You would have thought any communication in diplomatic circles would be covered by some form of secrecy policy and therefore the government could force them to reveal the source. That source then should be charged accordingly

    You would have thought that, yes. Boris is your new leader. Rejoice.

    From wikipedia:

    Section 3 - International relations
    Section 3(1)(a) creates an offence of disclosing information, documents or other articles relating to international relations. This includes confidential information, documents or other article from a State other than the United Kingdom or an international organisation. This section applies only to crown servants and government contractors.

    So the person leaking the document is likely in breach of the OSA, with a maximum penalty of two years or an unlimited fine.
