In The Diplomatic Bag

The astonishing events in Scotland have been brought to the floor of the House of Commons by Liam Fox. 

The Labour Party ought to be exactly as proud of that as it is of its failure to call for the resignation of Thieving Matt Hancock.

Each of these is the kind of thing that rightly elicits a robust response from the British diplomatic presence in any other country.

Every Embassy and High Commission in London, and every Consulate and Consulate-General in Scotland, should say exactly what their British counterparts would say under comparable circumstances.
