Including IIRC scumbag "journalist" pictured above, part of the scumbag Murdocks's global scumbag media empire.
Aimed at reaching fellow scumbags AND converting otherwise decent folk into scumbags of the future.
Who the hell funds these lunatics?
The hack was discovered during the summer Tory leadership campaign, when Ms Truss was Foreign Secretary, but the details were suppressed by the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.

Perhaps immigrants should also be so required.
It's also worth noting that finding the host does not mean it wasn't a lab leak.
However . . . is Prince Albert still in the can?
Trump has unleashed a horrible genie and I’m not sure we can ever get it back into the bottle .
Not sure details of top secret negotiations should be on a personal phone.
As an aside, is it really true that if someone committed a violent, unprovoked, life threatening act on another person they would be out of bail the next day? I don't know much about the US legal system but that seems extremely unlikely even without the political violence angle.
And yes, that Fox News guy is a nutter.
Britain seems to be a banana republic.
Not sure if I blame Liz Truss, though.
Where the hell are GCHQ?
In my view Russia is hoping that politics will take care of the US, energy prices the EU, and hope further that the UK may be vulnerable right now (which it is).
I hope so.
Though I doubt this changes much, Sunak would just fire Braverman if needed and replace her with Raab and say the breach happened under his predecessor
But even so, here's a PMQs zinger about lettuce.

The cross-party Culture Committee on which I sit has published a report concluding that Nadine Dorries gave us wholly inaccurate evidence when she appeared before us as Culture Secretary. Misleading parliament is serious. I have sent our report to the parliamentary authorities.
The problems for them are that those may not happen, or have the effect they hope, but also that they don't seem to have much clue about what to do even if those things happen. Expecting outside events to rescue them does not seem a war-winning strategy.
Top kek. Let's see the messages.
Who benefits from that, I wonder?
As for Truss, it entirely depends if she followed proper protocols
Lula 51.1%, Bolso 48.9%: Lula maj 2.2%.
MDA's previous poll (14-16 Oct):
Lula 53.5%, Bolso 46.5% (blanks etc. discounted): Lula maj 7.0%.
But the same company had Lula on 44.2% for R1 (data collected 28-30 Sep, vote 2 Oct) and he actually got 48.4%.
Lula nearly won the whole thing in R1. He would have done if only half the voteshare of one of the candidates who placed 3rd and 4th had gone to him instead. Both of those candidates have now endorsed him. Bolsonaro needs to win a heck of a lot of middle ground to stay in office.
Five more pollsters are due to report today.
Allegations concerning cannibalism, paedophilia, and satanism have featured in this election.
The Lula campaign has dug up a 2016 interview in which Bolso said he was willing to eat human flesh. They also showed footage of him speaking at masonic lodges - which doesn't go down well among evangelical Christians. And they have referenced Bolsonaro's suggestive remarks about migrant teenage girls from Venezuela.
Bolsonaro has denied involvement in either cannibalism or paedophilia.
Meanwhile Bolsonaro's side are calling Lula a satanist who wants to shut churches down and introduce unisex toilets in state schools.
I'm not joking.
Lula and Bolso debated on TV last night. Bolso promised to raise the minimum wage. He also claimed that his own social programs have been superior to those introduced when Lula was in office. The first claim may possibly win him some votes. The second is something that few will believe.
Need to wait for today's other poll reports, including from Datafolha and PoderData.
There could be violence tomorrow or over the following days.
Lula is at 1.46 at Betfair.
I hope it is taken forward
But I agree strongly with the post that says that neither the breach itself, nor this leak, are at all good for a country in a very dangerous security situation.
Iceland has one big drawback, which is cost. If you are on expenses though, I refuse to sympathise. Even bleak can be spectacular. And there is plenty of spectacle too.
Next Autumn, though, go to Perthshire. For the trees. Europe's New England.
I might have hoped Biden would try to unify. Instead, he has been as partial, if not more so, than Trump. Not a word from him to calm the nation after the Roe v Wade decision was leaked and a Supreme Court Judge saw a man charged with his attempted murder, because it didn't fit his narrative. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/politics/nicholas-john-roske-911-call-audio-brett-kavanaugh/index.html
There is no prospective president who looks likely to act to pull the nation together like presidents of the past as recently as George W Bush.
Suella Braverman has been accused of failing to act on legal advice that the government was illegally detaining thousands of asylum seekers. The move could cost taxpayers an expensive court action.
The home secretary received advice at least three weeks ago warning that migrants were being detained for unlawfully long periods at the Manston asylum processing centre in Ramsgate, Kent. According to five sources, Braverman, 42, was also told that the legal breach needed to be resolved urgently by rehousing the asylum seekers in alternative accommodation.
Two sources said she was also warned by officials that the Home Office had no chance of defending a legal challenge and the matter could also result in a public inquiry if exposed.
A government source said: “The government is likely to be JR’d [judicially reviewed] and it’s likely that all of them would be granted asylum, so it’s going to achieve the exact opposite of what she wants. These people could also launch a class action against us and cost the taxpayer millions.”

There are people here who claim to know.
If so, how boring. The hope and hype was much kinkier than this.

I just pointed out if he did go there is zero chance of Truss replacing him
I’m old enough to remember when Big G was suggesting I was foul of libel law, having recently concluded his campaign to persecute Keir Starmer’s masala.
Seen the Northern Lights lots of times. They’re ok, but have been blown way out of proportion by the marketing men.
Hot springs. Fairy nuff. But I get bored after 5 minutes.
Night skies? Any sparsely populated part of rural Scotland will do. Ideal in Wigtownshire, the Stewartry or South Uist for example.
If you go for the Northern Lights, wrap up REALLY well - and prepare for them to appear just when you have given up all hope for the night.

"Still feel that the Conservatives will win the next GE? Fed up with polls that show a massive loss for your party? Take some Copium+..."
Second time I visited in May with work so the cost was not an issue and the weather was dry and bright. I was interviewed in Icelandic TV news about Brexit.
