She was the Foreign f**king Secretary when all of this happened. It's inconceivable she didn't know all about it.
I am shocked by the secrecy and cover-up over the admission of thousands of Afghans to Britain at the cost of £7bn to the taxpayer. A decision that was in itself wrong. It is an huge betrayal of public trust. Those responsible in both Governments and the bureaucracy need to be.

This is surely negligent?.
Kemi Badenoch was offered a briefing on the Afghan superinjunction by the government, but she declined. Her team felt too much of her time was being taken up with such briefings, and that they were only useful to her half of the time.

This Labour government is taking decisive action to give children the best start in life. The 500m Better Futures Fund will give hundreds of thousands of children, young people and their families the support they need to help them reach their full potential.

The Committee provides independent review of the Council’s performance to the extent it exposes the Council to risk and weakens its control environment, approves the final accounts and acts as an advisory committee to the Council on audit and governance matters.
