Is disgraced former defence secretary Liam Fox about to be offered the job again? It wouldn't surprise me.

"This isn’t the first time an ally has insinuated needed to be more grateful to its allies.

Speaking to reporters at the summit in Vilnius earlier this summer, British Defense Secretary said Ukraine must show 'gratitude' to its allies in order to maintain long-term Western public and political support."

Ode to Ben Wallace, he is loved by many
Favourite among Tory members, called the 'canny'
Many gathered to honour his name
He will always be remembered the same
Now he's stepping down, breaking Tory hearts
But his legacy will remain when he departs

Aha, so n the man who thought should be 'grateful' has now decided that he's had enough of being Defence Secretary & is quitting Parliament, along with load of other MPs.

No doubt he has been approached by to run their new arms division?

When is fighting not only for its continued existence, but also to maintain democratic order in Europe and block Russian imperialism, it's a bit rich for English defence minister to complain about a supposed lack of "gratitude" from Kyiv.

Is Wallace sulking because he failed to get the top job?

Aha, the arrogance of the islander...

thinks the should be more grateful for the drip-drip-drip of arms that its getting....

Maybe, he should live in a country invaded by a powerful neighbour & see how grateful he is for the pious words & slow supply of arms from those claiming to fully support their defence.

So few in the UK appreciate what its like having land-borders (much more easily breached) shared with an aggressive enemy.... we seem to forget our natural moat!

"Britain’s fury with US as Joe Biden ‘blocks’ Ben Wallace for Nato"

English entitlement is most unbecoming.

There are a number of suitable candidates to succeed as secretary-general, of whom is one. My own money is on , who in my view would make a better NATO chief than prime minister of Denmark.
