You can always rely on Lammy for another bit of idiocy. He's only a few months in and he's agreed to pay a Chinese ally to take the sovereignty of a UK territory in return for being allowed to carry on using what's already ours. 

What a mastermind!

I know as much about him as you do. He's made many millions of pounds, so he's got some, or a lot of knowledge about summat. Foreign trading? Health Services? Who knows? Don't just suspect that he was there for selfish or spurious reasons. Like me, you haven't a clue.

I know he had some naughty friends
