I expect everyone has noticed how the 'tankers in the Strait of Hormuz' story has dropped out of the MSM apart from yesterday when we heard that British shipping going through those waters will have RN escorts. The questions are 'Where are the RN ships? and 'What is their availability?' Mr 'Shurrup and go away' Gavin Williamson was Defence Secretary. Now SoS for Education. A joke. Followed by the gung ho RN reservist Ms Mordaunt. Sacked on Wednesday after just three months in the job. Now since Wednesday, Ben Wallace, ex Sandhurst, Scots Guards and overseas director at QinetiQ! is now embedded at the MoD. The civil servants and the military head honchos must be spinning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)
