What if a married man had an affair with a woman by whom he had a child, causing his wife to banish him to a friend's flat? One may disapprove in principle, but in political terms, so what?
Yet what if, as Leader of the Opposition, that man made that woman a Peer of the Realm, and then, as Prime Minister, he made her a Minister of the Crown, a salaried position to the benefit of their child?
And what if that Ministerial office were that of Minister for Latin America and the Caribbean, just as the situation in relation to the Falkland Islands became more strained than at any time since 1982?
By the way, even as it goes cap-in-hand to China, the Argentina of Javier Milei remains the latest Promised Land of the British Right, which always has to have a Fatherland somewhere away from the National Health Service. Liz Truss says that she would endorse Milei if he were a candidate for the Leader of the Conservative Party.
It's all about the Foreign Office right now and this is how Starmer fills the jobs there.
