Sir Kim Darroch's secret cables to the Foreign Office, giving his views of the Trump administration, have been leaked en masse to a tabloid.
The contents of the cables are perfectly acceptable, as ambassadors are meant to report their views and opinions. However, what is not acceptable is the fact that these secret communications have leaked.
The questions are as follows:
1 Who leaked them?
2 Why are they leaked now?
3 What game is being played here?
The theories:
1 Trump leaked in order to remove Durroch and replace him with Farage.
2 A supporter of Farage in the FO leaked them, for the reason above.
3 Number 10 leaked them, in order to conduct a scorched earth policy and wreck any chances of the USA helping Britain with a fast track no deal Brexit trade agreement.
4 A foreign agency leaked them, just for fun.
5 Boris or an associate leaked them, in order to pave the way for Farage to be ambassador and seal an deal with the Brexit Party.
Anyone have any other theories?
