Former top diplomat in the UK says Labour leader’s ‘Maduro-style economic agenda’ would imperil Australian investments

Australia’s former top diplomat in the United Kingdom, Alexander Downer, has intervened in the British election contest, declaring the Morrison government would need to “substantially reduce” intelligence sharing with London in the event Jeremy Corbyn wins on 12 December.

Topical for Alexander, always was short on intelligence and not good at sharing

Looks a bit drunk 🥴.

That’s why Russian support tories

It could only be a good thing if old guard cronies cry about a vague shroud of Int sharing. 5 eyes doesn't exactly protect rights & privacy, so can slide off into irrelivence nicely thanks 👍

My God the establishment is so scared of Corbyn. They are even enrolling foreign governments to subvert the ( so called ) UK democratic election.

Ridiculous, happy to share with Russian supported Tories. Seriously?

Riiiiiight, then he must also admit that if Russia wins (Johnson, Farage and trump), then that’s gotta be far worse

That’s a downer

I can’t stand Corbyn, but this has to be a joke coming from Chinese owned Australia

But carry on if Russian asset Boris Johnson remains PM?

There is a lurch not towards the extremes but just general stupidity.

Smart for Australia. Corbyn would funnel it straight to Islamic State as well as anything communist he could find.

I can see how he would think Johnson is more in need of intelligence sharing.

Alexander Downer, like, the one who started the whole RUSSIA COLLUSION?!! This is laughable journalism. EricCiaramella

The financiers are closing in on Corbyn before the election. The neoliberals will fight to the death to maintain inequality and power in the hands of the super wealthy. I can see tanks on the streets if the Brexit alliance wins a clear majority.

Ok that tells me he’s a good guy!

Yes

Another Personal attack, whilst our lying, security risk, Russian funded PM is actually in Power. FFS.

broomstick33 Ever the master of diplomacy

Looks like he has given most of his away already.

But happy to share with someone putin has kompromat on. Tory stooge guardian.

How much EU intelligence would the U.K. lose access to if LiarJohnson won the general election? ToriesOut GetBorisGone

O dear, that's not going to happen

Proves the quality of intelligence they have!

Find Downer here👇

Eventuality won’t arise.

The UK has been reducing its own intelligence for decades, it needs no help in that respect...

'Downer said the result mattered to Australia because the UK was the second-largest offshore destination for Australian investment.' Ah, there you go. No more useful tax haven, ay Downer. VoteLabour

Isn’t it the Tories with the Putin money? traitors. Or they could just release the report... BuyingBritain BrexitForPutin

... and hearing this will affect who I vote for? Australian politics has also been a basket case the last few years...

Reducing intelligence is not an issue if this twat is involved

Aww, shit man, how are we going learn Best Practice for turning back migrant boats or perfecting the psychological torture of immigrant detainees on isolated islands?

Downer never had much intelligence to share with anyone.

Big loss

Let us ignore stupidity 😁
