What's the chances that part of this cover up includes some people who helped us that have already been arrested, tortured, or killed by the Taliban?

Exactly. Probably already too late for some of them.

I think it's already happened sadly

Puts my minor transgression of GDPR, reported to the ICO, into a quantum of insignificance compared to this monumental, fatal, mess.

Where did the data get sent? It was suggested that at least one person + family leveraged the info to get admitted to Britain. Presumably the password for the spreadsheet wasn't "password"? Or do I have to wait for Private Eye to arrive to get some detailed information?

Robin-Knowles-J-Judgment.pdf share.google/T2gEuRHv3gEh...

Who the f*** permitted this injunction, what Tory peer judge presided over this b*******.

So which cabinet member do we think left it in a Peepshow in Soho then?

So it’s treason.

Why do I expect the email to be signed, “lots of love, Liz”?

Along with a posed photo.

😡

Liz was “shocked by the secrecy” of Operation Rubific, which brought 4,500 Afghans to Britain after their details were leaked. And she demanded those responsible in governments and the bureaucracy needed to be held to account.

I'd wager that the super injunction was also done also to stop the newspapers from rolling face first into a garden full of rakes. That ship has now sailed. If there's any riots about this, it may well get messy as they say. inews.co.uk/news/far-rig...

Wait until Liz Truss reads this… 🫣

And that’s why the tried to hide it.

I might be being a bit daft here, but isn't it obvious there would be UK names? The Afghans were cooperating, not operating in a vacuum? They didn't put their own names in a sorting hat?

Didn't the defence secretary say the other day that he was not aware of any more injunctions?

No he said he was not aware of it before being elected because of the injunction. Don’t people listen rather than hear what they want to hear!

Lots of noise today from Tories about 16/17 year olds voting, I wondered what they were trying to distract us from.

📌

Us: "This is fucked up. But at least that's all of it and there's no details left to drop. It's all out in the open now." Government: "Well......"

Pins don't work right? Unless I'm wearing crocs.

Phew. I’m wearing crocs.

How many on the list were Grant Shapps ??

What a fucking shit show the Tory govt were. They left a whole lot of damaged goods everywhere you look.

Given the way The Mail has been covering this - for instance today's headline - I suspect a reverse ferret will be in action tomorrow.

a result of the islamic invasion of eglandistan? and no one thought about this?

Hence the super injunction. Sounds fair enough I feel

My former military colleagues are very het up about prospect of having immunity to commit war crimes removed by the Lab govt just now... I might have a nose on their social media to see if this might register at all?

Wait until the #DailyMail finds out about plans to financially compensate UK Special Forces and spooks caught up in the leak.

I wonder if this will jog the memory of the foreign secretary at the time?

Ye gods !!!

There has to be an end inquiry into this and expose the incompetence of Wallace and his cohorts!

No one was safe under that incompetent lying Tory government Shameful 😞

Wonder how the right wing media are going to report this now it involves armed forces from this country as well as Afghanistan

“Bloody hell” doesn’t even go near being the right expletive for this, it may have been an error but if someone has the level of access to see these names let alone share them, they shouldn’t be making “clerical errors” and certainly shouldn’t be able to share it beyond a restricted group.

Maybe it was shared with the Americans and put on Signal Chat.

A clusterfuck of Tory proportions !

Explains the Super Injunction a bit better now !

A legitimate thought but it is also within the public interest to immediately know that our national security infrastructure (especially human capital) has been compromised.

I find the timing of this story highly suspicious.

Meanwhile the media. How can Starmer spin his way out of this?

It's OK, all the SF lads will have black nasty over their eyes.

Tories have a lot of questions to be answered.

The real point is that they didn’t want to answer any of them before the general election.

4 years is a long time to avoid it

The Tories kept the injunction play before the 2024 election. Many suspect it wasn’t needed at that time but the Tories were in self preservation mode. A terrible precedent.

Who wants to bet the British news media will ignore this story like it's the race riots of 2024?

Jeezuss wept. How incompetent were the tories, absolute con artists

Wow, that is shockingly bad.

“Back Office jobs” have roll to play in national security. We owe it to those on the front line to get it right and not to leave them exposed to unnecessary danger. Politicians like Rees-Mogg spread fear in the civil service boasting about cutting jobs. Rarely are jobs unnecessary.

Very understated of you James. 😬

You'd have thought that at the time the UK government was being run by a bunch of incompetent morons rather than the noble, unquestionable geniuses who actually did... 🤔

Exactly - but don’t worry, he’ll write an article in The Fail, furious at Corbyn for facilitating this 🙄

You can spend all you like on defence but idiots seem to rule the roost at the ministry of defence- they seem like complete idiots

The next revelation will be the awarding of contracts to pals of ministers to set up better lines of communication from MOD to the Taliban spy hunters.

It gets worse...

Too many people clicking through Data Protection and cybersecurity courses to "get them out the way".

What kind of people do UK special forces employ? Digital illiterate? Special forces? Special in what way?

British citizens, overseas you say. Liz Truss must've been all over this as Foreign Secretary.

no wonder the tory party wanted to cover it up

To be fair they had to. Full investigation asap please

I know they had to for a start, while they were getting people to safety. but they did that and when the injection was supposed to be lifted, they didnt. No doubt because they didnt want to admit to endangering our ppl, but also the import of refugees

Quite. Of course the usual comments are being made by Yaxley-Lennon who doesn't want ANY Afghans, Russian bots pretending to be outraged. Farage tops it by saying known sex criminals are amongst them. There aren't ONE was refused asylum for precisely that but why spoil a provocative lie.

I clicked on test email from I.T. As a result I have to redo my cybersecurity on line training.I fix bloody pumps and compressors ! Those responsible will get sweet F.A as a result of a basic negligence of unencrypted spreadsheet sharing.And their salaries have a couple of 0’s more than mine.

It'll be interesting to see who suddenly cares a lot more now who didn't give a damn when they thought it was just Afghans whose lives were at risk.

Somehow this is labours fault... Kemi and co will try to spin it that way

It makes you wonder how much racism & prejudice has been inflicted on the Afghan people that were secretly relocated here when they were actually working for 👑 & 🇬🇧

Probably a lot.

Maybe that’s why the super injunction was held in place 🤔🤔

Whatever gets reported, always assume it was much worse than that.

It probably wasn't. I worked in govt for many years. It was always cock up not conspiracy

I work in IT. It's always worse than what they will admit to..

Whereas Badenoch’s reaction was ‘Nah… you’re alright’ to the briefing she was offered on it. Hope she’s not going to get all high-horsey now the shit is hitting the fan.

Oh, she will.

She’ll blame Starmer as will Farage, Corbyn et al

Her husband just resigned from Reform .. this pair of evil ghouls should sit this one out

That was Braverman, but just as evil.

People who didn't care about the leak yesterday are suddenly engaged. British entitlement is a funny thing

Ah.

FFS

This is what happens when you’ve got 300 Tim ‘nice but’ Dim’s running the country.

We had such a joined up and competent government then.

Thank goodness the super injunction stopped the victims finding out.

How the fuck did anyone think having all of that critical data on one EXCEL file which they then emailed was a good idea???

Some the most sensitive data you could possibly handle on a single spreadsheet with no protection or data hygiene. Total incompetence of the highest order.

Our most juniour resource is are taught not to do anywhere near this level of stupidity...... WTF!

I can't help but feel something deliberate happened. Someone got paid

Deliberate or incompetence? Which is more likely?

I'm always on the side of incompetence as the more likely explanation.

Unencrypted Excel spreadsheets might not be the best way to capture and share this kind of data. A little surprised that MoD didn't seem to know that.

I wonder if austerity had a hand in this. Though civil service aren't the best. Use a motoring example which you like 🤫 when we went to the modern driving licences, we still had to carry an A4 sheet of paper for it to be valid.

What a total fook up.

Fan bloody tastic, world leaders in fuck ups

Omg 😱

Speechless!

Did somebody just press send without checking what they were sending? Like security matters? Sounds just like that Bozo Tory administration.

Sounds like Timmy Mallet was working for the MOD !

Good grief, how do they not have adequate safeguards to prevent this kind of terrible failure? Lost for words.

Oh dear James. Dug yourself a bit of a hole on the Diane Abbot episode. We all make mistakes. We all try to maintain some self worth and importantly we then prefer to be left alone. Whereas the decision by the LP/Starmer to suspend her again is questionable but you decided to leave that one.

Yawn

F*ckin Tories!...

Tory incompetence strikes again ! Too busy in fighting and squabbling with their personal powers instead of sharply focused on oversight of what was going on !!

This is all so disgusting 😡

Bloody hell. No wonder they wanted to keep all this under wraps.

Who?

Could these stories be related? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Whenever we're despairing about this woeful government, we can remind ourselves of the ludicrous levels of incompetence from the previous lot.

People keep forgetting that but it’s not a get out of jail card forever

Indeed - it's not one at all.

Where the fuck is Grant Shapps?

The breach occurred in February 2022. Ben Wallace was Def Sec from 24 July 2019 – 31 August 2023. PMs: Boris Johnson Truss and Sunak. Pull them in . Ask questions.

Planning his next disguise .. to think he’s now a Sir .. unbelievable 😞

Technically, he’s three Sirs and a Dame.

I would grant schnapps to a thirsty traveller

In Panama, swimming through the taxes he avoided, like Scrooge McDuck.

Shapsy? Doing a few lengths and then messing about in the local swimming pool.

He was on the list so hes probably donned a disguise and changed his name....oh wait.

On a yacht with Corinne Stockheath & Sebastian Fox?

Put someone like Schapps in place and what do you expect !!

Living out his life under an alternative identity, I reckon.🤔

Who is the blame for the leak? That has to be identified immediately and who was the PM who signed off the super injunction to cover up the whole mess?
