Mrs May and MI5

[Paul Rigby]

I wondered if there was pressure from "over the pond" on May about the Chinese Hinckley Point C project? I mention this because if they're small minded enough to ban all the Russian paralympic team, imagine their paranoia over Chinese involvement in a Brit nuclear power station (on top of the AIIB)? It would be more than enough to rattle their empty heads and order the Marines to invade and secure it.

No question about it. There is a simple and unfailingly successful formula for America pressure on British governments - do as we say or the intel co-operation gets it.

And off scamper the nation's wretched securocrats to do America's bidding.

MI6 snub for Boris Johnson and David Davis: Intelligence services are 'wary' of giving information about Brexit to the Cabinet members

• It is the latest indication of splits in the Government over Brexit

They are two of the most outspoken Cabinet Ministers so perhaps it is not surprising that Britain's spooks are wary of Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

Senior Whitehall sources say information obtained by the intelligence services about the Brexit negotiation strategies being plotted by the French and German governments is being kept from Mr Davis and Mr Johnson in case they blurt it out or foreign intelligence services intercept their calls.

Instead, they claim, the details are being restricted to Prime Minister Theresa May, her No 10 officials and senior civil servants.

It is the latest indication of splits in the Government over the Brexit process and comes just days after it was revealed that Mr Davis had been warned by his permanent secretary, Oliver Robbins, that he should expect other EU member states to spy on his activities.
