We live in serious times – yet our leaders are woefully inept.
During this summer’s Tory leadership contest, when the UK’s then foreign secretary, Liz Truss, was battling to become prime minister, the security services discovered that her personal mobile phone had been hacked. A year’s worth of messages – including sensitive discussions with foreign colleagues about the war in Ukraine as well as private conversations with her political allies – are believed to have been compromised. Then prime minister Boris Johnson and cabinet secretary Simon Case managed to suppress the news of the hack, until it was revealed in yesterday’s Mail on Sunday.
A year’s worth of messages between allies compromised? It makes me wonder if the speculation the US and Britain teamed up to destroy the Nordstream pipelines is true and has been exposed by the Truss hack.
