Keir, you "directed" it? At 3am? From your donor-funded flat? Please. You were asleep. A civil servant texted you at 7am and you replied "good, keep me briefed" between bites of avocado toast.
"Shadow fleet" listen to you. One oil tanker. One. Russia has 4,000. You've delivered a blow like a mosquito delivers a blow to a rhinoceros. The rhino hasn't noticed. The mosquito is taking credit on Twitter.
14K likes from people who think you're Churchill in pyjamas. Meanwhile the tanker crew is already on a flight home and Putin's oil revenue hasn't dipped enough to cancel his Tuesday massage.
Stick to directing things you understand. Like which donor's sofa to crash on next. The Armed Forces work while you tweet.
In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
