According to this mornings Evening Standard article “Senior Tories have reportedly written to Conservative MPs to raise concerns over Boris Johnson’s decision to allow Huawei a role in the UK’s 5G network. The letter, from a group of Tories including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, David Davis, Damian Green and Bob Seely, said there were other options to the Chinese firm, according to the BBC.” So the issue for me is not the use of Huawei as part of 5G. Indeed I have no particular concerns over that but of course other people have different views. However what matters here is that Mr Duncan-Smith and his friends have written to their colleagues raising concerns over the views of Johnson who as we all know recently got selected by the Party members and the Party recently got elected with a disproportionate number of MPs compared to the number of votes the Party received. So the point is we all need to write to the many Tory MPs to raise our concerns over Johnsons views on a range of issues including of course the approach he has towards our relationship with the European Union, but in fact a much wider range of issues. After all he did claim in his manifesto that “People must have an accountable local leader who they can vote out.”
