Boris Johnson has come out all guns blazing over Met Officer Basu warning that newspapers publishing politically sensitive 'leaks' such as the Darroch one could be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act. Cabinet minsters Matt Hancock and Jeremy Hunt have joined in in condemning Basu's words.
This might be a hint as to who might have leaked it?
The matter has now escalated with a new 'leak' in which Darroch called Trump's tearing up the Iran Policy 'an act of diplomatic vandalism' and that he was only doing it to spite Obama.
Should the press be subject to the Official Secrets Act?
Or should it publish and be damned?

After Mr Johnson returned to London, Sir Kim told No 10 in a ‘diptel’ (diplomatic telegram) that Mr Trump’s Administration was ‘set upon an act of diplomatic vandalism’. The Ambassador wrote that Mr Trump appeared to be abandoning the deal for ‘personality reasons’ because it had been agreed by his predecessor Barack Obama. |
