PM's WhatsApp Group
I've been selling Britain plc to the Saudis
Darren Jones

Actually, he's a big fan of the way we work.
Darren Jones
You mean he likes the way Rachel is wielding the axe and cutting things?

David Lammy
I was a bit worried about you being in Saudi Arabia. Given that it's in Syria.
It isn't, Foreign Secretary. Though the Crown Prince and I did discuss the dangers of getting rid of an unpopular regime that's been running a country into the ground for ages and replacing it with an unknown quantity, which hasn't prepared properly and doesn't have any concrete plans for the future.
Darren Jones
And then you discussed Syria?
Angela Rayner
That's unfair, Darren, we do have concrete plans. We're going to concrete over the entire countryside.
