        Sounds like a loony to me. All these hysteria about Russia. First from the Army Chief the other day then by this glory hunter. All just to get more bucks from @PhilipHammondUK . Some folks will say anything for effect

        Replying to @paul__johnson

        Dacre obv had dirt on him and this is him doing a deal with Dacre so that the story can come out on HIS terms. @GavinWilliamson is being groomed by Dacre to be next Tory leader, looks young, wasn't private school educated. Just the face the top 0.1% need to carry on abusing us.

        He imagines he is a contender to lead the Tories to glorious victory. He is just another sabre-rattling fantasist egotist sleazy retrogressive senior Tory. There are some classic 80s movies, Gavin Williamson is Howard the Duck.

        If he'd got it the other way round it's highly likely neither story would have made it to the front page.

        '...thousands and thousands and thousands' will got killed Miss... Our seemingly self-appointed Defence Secretary sounds like a small boy giving account to teacher of his imaginary weekend adventure. Gavin 'hammer of global terrorists' Williamson so wants to be Prime Minister.

        So.. @GavinWilliamson releases trivial self exposé to preempt involuntary disclosure, but to be safe he does so on same day that he.. ..releases info re. Russia threat that Tories would also rather deny (Putin helped #Brexit) but can't, so..double bluff hyperbole to trivialise.
