Who is SUE GRAY?
Interesting piece here about a UK deep state operative named Sue Gray, who no one has ever heard of. She manages the 'ethics' position of the UK government, effectively a gatekeeper for most of the things they release publicly. The most powerful woman in the UK according to this write-up:
"What's the real Sue Gray about? Who is the most powerful woman in Britain? The Prime Minister? The Monarch? Or the Director General of the Propriety and Ethics Team in the Cabinet Office?
The last of these individuals, Sue Gray, operates in carefully preserved obscurity. To the wider public, her very name is unknown. Yet she was running the inquiry into the charges made against Damian Green, who was one of the Prime Minister's of the day oldest friends in politics, the First Secretary of State and also, as it happens, Minister for the Cabinet Office.
At the end of this important task, she would advise Theresa May whether or not Green had broken the Ministerial Code. In less bureaucratic language, Gray would decide whether the allegations against him of sexual harassment, and of having had pornography on his computer when the police searched his office in 2008 - both of which charges he had strenuously denied - amount to anything, and whether in her view he must resign."

Trump Admin: UK on 'Slippery Slope' After Allowing Huawei to Build British Facility
The Trump administration slammed Huawei's planned construction of a £400 million research and development centre near Cambridge, saying that the UK is on a "slippery slope" by continuing to allow the Chinese tech firm to operate in the country.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is reported to be "really furious" about the planned project and the American Ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, is expected to relay the concerns of the Trump administration with the British government.
The American under-secretary of state for economic growth, Keith Krach, said that Huawei is "an extension of the Chinese government", and therefore called the British government "to put the whole thing in perspective - aggressive tactics of the Chinese Communist Party, because it all starts from there".
"They are after the people and technology. They want to co-opt the researchers and talent from one of the most prestigious universities. They want to get their hands on the technology and IP [intellectual property] to take back to China," Mr Krach told The Times.
"Their stated playbook is to 'seduce with money, and reinforce with intimidation and retaliation'. It's textbook. Here comes the carrot, here comes the stick. We are really concerned. It is about UK national security," he added.
This week, Huawei is expected to receive planning permission from the government to start construction on the facility, which will be located just miles away from Cambridge University as well as the Japanese-owned semiconductor firm ARM Holdings.
The former first secretary of state Damian Green warned that the move was "clearly designed to influence the debate" around Huawei's involvement in Britain's 5G network.
"The government calls Huawei a high-risk vendor and I want to see a path towards zero involvement from Huawei in the 5G network," Mr Green said.

Facebook 'Supreme Court' Packed with Anti-Trump, Progressive Figures
Facebook has released a list of the first 20 members of its "Oversight Board," a semi-independent body the social network is setting up that will have the power to decide whether content banned by Facebook stays banned or is restored on appeal. Members include the former editor-in-chief of the Guardian and a "human rights expert" who is part of George Soros' Open Society project.
Colloquially known as the "Facebook Supreme Court," the idea for the body was hatched by Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman, a liberal academic and one of the Democrats' "expert witnesses" during the impeachment hearings. Also involved in the body's development was a progressive non-profit, BSR.
The 20 members announced by Facebook today include progressive, left-wing, and mainstream media figures who have been highly critical of President Trump.
One addition is Alan Rusbridger, formerly editor-in-chief of the Guardian, the U.K.'s leading left-wing newspaper. His appointment to Facebook's Oversight Board - and the lack of any figures from conservative media - has already drawn condemnation from Conservative Party MPs in the U.K.
Damian Green MP, a member of the U.K. Parliament's committee on Culture, Media, and Sport, said that Facebook "fails miserably to provide confidence in its political balance."
"Globally, Facebook is much more important than any newspaper or broadcaster, so it has a consequent responsibility to demonstrate it is open to a range of views," he continued.
Alan Rusbridger and the Guardian are more infamous in Britain than the U.S., but the former editor-in-chief is no fan of Trump. In September 2017, he expressed his support for Robert Mueller's "obstruction of justice" investigation against Trump.

Farage: 'Growing' Concern in Washington About Boris's Huawei Decision
Nigel Farage said there is "growing" concern in Washington over Boris Johnson's decision to allow Chinese telecom giant Huawei the rights to work on Britain's 5G infrastructure.
Following a meeting in the Oval Office, the leader of the Brexit Party said that many Republican senators and congressmen have "genuine" fears that allowing Huawei access to British 5G networks could jeopardize the security relationship between the two nations.
Mr Farage told The Telegraph that President Donald Trump's official message is that "the UK must do what's right for the UK" but he noted that the feeling in Washington is firmly against the move.
"I have picked up from speaking to some senators and congressmen this week a level of concern that does not appear to be going away. It is a genuine security concern," Farage said.
"We believe in UK sovereignty. It is our choice to make. But it is, I have to say, one I'm very, very worried about, as I have been all the way through", he added.
The British government has claimed it will constrain the role that Huawei plays in developing its 5G network, saying that the Chinese tech giant will be excluded from the "core" of the network and will only make up 35 per cent of the "periphery".
The decision by Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not only sparked a backlash in Washington. A group of senior Conservative Party members have written a letter to Number 10 to "rule out" Huawei from its 5G plans.
The letter, which was signed by former party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Owen Paterson, David Davis, Damian Green, Tobias Ellwood, and Bob Seely called on Mr Johnson to "find a better solution".
"We are seeking to identify a means by which we ensure that only trusted vendors are allowed as primary contractors into our critical national infrastructure" the letter said, per the BBC.
"Trusted vendors would be companies from countries that have fair market competition, rule of law, respect human rights, data privacy and non-coercive government agencies", it continued.
Sir Iain Duncan Smith warned against trusting a company with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party, saying that there should be "zero" involvement from Huawei and adding that the situation is "simply not manageable to have an organisation like that inside your important network".
"You have an organisation from a country that is an aggressor in terms of cyber warfare and a company that is clearly totally and utterly in the hands of the Chinese government who demand absolute obedience on these matters", Sir Ian warned.

Vomit and used condoms in MPs offices: Parliament's cleaners complain about partying politicians
Cleaners at the Houses of Parliament complain that they have to clear up used condoms and vomit left by unruly MPs and their aides.
MPs are reportedly to face strict new rules about their behavior. Commons authorities are considering the introduction of a 'service agreement' that would cover the appropriate use of workspaces in the Houses of Parliament, the Sunday Times report.
It's the type of behaviour you would expect from students enjoying freshers' week, not MPs and their staff," a source reported in the Sunday Times said, "but cleaners are being confronted with vomit and used condoms in offices used by MPs and their staff."
"It should be made clear that the cleaners are not there to clear up after their debauchery and this is not an appropriate use of their office space."
Westminster was rocked by sex scandals last year when the then-manager of Parliament's Sports and Social bar complained after being pestered for sex by an MP. She reported that one even followed and groped her. The bar was closed down and handed to new management following the revelations.
Additionally, numerous MPs were called out for sexual misconduct, the most prominent of which was then-Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon, who quit the cabinet after admitting his behavior towards women had "fallen short" in the past.
Fallon's colleague Damian Green also resigned from the cabinet after an internal investigation found that he had lied to colleagues over pornography found on his computer.

'We're going to need the Australians': Pompeo lays out contest with China
London: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said global institutions trying to deal with an aggressive China are no longer fit for purpose, in part because Australia does not have a leading role in many of them.
And in extraordinary comments, Pompeo has hit out World Health Organisation boss Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, accusing him of aiding China's initial cover-up of the pandemic, saying that was the reason for "dead Britons" because he has been "bought by the Chinese government".
Pompeo made the remarks in London to an assortment of British MPs at the Millbank headquarters of the Henry Jackson Society, a think tank that is hawkish on China. The society has been instrumental in leading the putsch against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's original approval for Chinese firm Huawei to build Britain's 5G networks.
MPs from all parties, including the Conservative and Labour parties as well as the Liberal Democrats attended the meeting, which was held before the former CIA director met Johnson and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
A source in the room said MPs asked Pompeo questions, mostly about how Britain could best deal with China, which has struck an aggressive posture since the pandemic.
Britain's own response has hardened as a result with the government suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong, extending its arms embargo to the territory, offering 3 million Hong Kongers potential citizenship and blocking Huawei from supplying its 5G networks.
In the meeting, Britain's former deputy prime minister and Conservative backbencher Damian Green asked Pompeo about the likelihood of assembling a global coalition to respond jointly to China to prevent it from steamrolling smaller countries.
Pompeo said any new coalition would need to perform better than the current multilateral institutions such as the United Nations Security Council where China has an automatic veto.
Pompeo said the US had boosted funding to NATO and sent it some of its best China analysts to help Europe better understand the Chinese military and its tactics. He listed the G7 and G20 among the many tools "out there" to try to uphold the international rules-based order.
Australia is a member of the G20 but not the G7; it last sat on the UN Security Council in 2014 and is bidding again for a position in 2029, which is the earliest opportunity because only one country from the Asia-Pacific region is eligible to contest each term.
But Australia's pushback against Chinese interference, including its world-leading ban on Huawei from critical telecoms networks, has earned it a reputation abroad as a pioneer in striking a security posture alongside its economic relationship with the world's second-largest economy. China is Australia's largest two-way trading partner.
"We just have to decide if any of those [multilateral institutions] are fit for purpose … I also think that they're not shaped right for this current confrontation," Pompeo is said to have told MPs.
Pompeo said the US was actively thinking about how to resolve the issue but had not reached an answer. Greater representation was needed from south-east Asia, he said.
"We're going to need the 1 billion-plus people in India, we're going to need the Australians - it's going to take all of these democracies together."
But the most extraordinary response came when Labour MP Chris Bryant pressed Pompeo on the United States undermining the rules-based order with its own actions by quitting the Paris climate accord, World Health Organisation and Human Rights Council.
Pompeo prompted laughter when he coined them the "three sins" but strongly defended quitting the WHO, which he said was a "political" and not a "science-based organisation".
Both the British and US governments are facing fierce criticism for their COVID-19 death tolls. The US has the highest toll in the world, followed by Brazil, India and Russia. Britain is in the top 10 countries to lose the greatest number of people to the disease.
Pompeo did not provide MPs with any evidence to back his claim that Tedros had been "bought" by China.
"When push came to shove, when it really mattered to us, when there was a pandemic in China, Dr Tedros - who was hook line and sinker bought by the Chinese government - and I can't say more but I can tell you I'm saying this on informed intelligence.

Flats are new 'dark satanic mills' warns Tory MP as lockdown rebellion grows
Boris Johnson is facing a Tory rebellion over any delay to the June 21 lifting of Covid restrictions with one frustrated MP warning flats are becoming the new "dark satanic mills".
The Prime Minister is expected to delay the final step on the roadmap out of lockdown by up to four weeks to July 19 at a press conference on Monday evening.
A decision on a new date will likely be put to a Commons vote later this month, with a Tory rebellion already brewing.
Sir Charles Walker, vice chair of the powerful 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, said the country should be ending the lockdown "sooner rather than later".
He warned of the impact lockdown had on people's mental health, likening people's homes to the "dark satanic mills" of the Industrial Revolution.
He told BBC Radio 4's World At One: "We have many young people chained to their small bedrooms and kitchens. So the new dark satanic mills are now people's flats.
"Remember, most of the people making the decisions around this have very comfortable lifestyles. And those we're asking to pay the highest price now are the youngest."
Sir Charles said he had an "overwhelming sense of pessimism" that if the Government cannot lift restrictions at the height of summer then we are "almost certainly" looking at further restrictions into autumn and winter.
He said if we were to live with Covid-19, at times we would have to "tough it out" and added: "Existing isn't living. We were told we were going to live with Covid-19 and it now looks like most of the remaining of this year, and certainly the first half of next year, will probably end up with some form of lockdown."
Asked if he thought the easing of restrictions could be reversed he said: "Yes I do."
Conservative MP Damian Green suggested on BBC's Westminster Hour on Sunday night that there should be a "break clause" after two or three weeks.
He said: "If there is a delay, I hope it's only for a few weeks and I think if it is as long as a month then there should be a break clause after two or maybe three weeks, to say that if we can tell by then that the rise in cases is not lading to a sort of rise in the serious illness that sends people into hospital, then we can unlock earlier."
Meanwhile fellow Tory MP Peter Bone said a delay to the lifting of restrictions should not happen "without really good reason" and that currently he "can't see the evidence why we should be postponing our freedom".
He said if he is not convinced by the Prime Minister's arguments then he will vote against it in parliament and there should only be restrictions "if there is a very clear danger to society".
Mr Johnson is expected to announce a delay because of the highly transmissible Delta variant and to allow more people to receive their second vaccine dose.
The PM will step up the daily vaccination rate during the delay in order to get over 10 million more people a critical second dose.
Health Minister Edward Argar said a delay of "four weeks or so" could ensure more people get the extra protection afforded by two doses of vaccine. He said the Government sees getting people double-vaccinated as "the key to being able to safely ease restrictions".
