Dave Lammy's BBC Breakfast appearance on Friday instantly became one of his greatest hits of gaffes as he repeatedly referred to Cyprus as a member of NATO. Cyprus is not, or has it ever been, a NATO member. For someone who was Foreign Secretary for over a year, his mistake was as disturbing as it was comical. How can such a buffoon achieve one of the highest offices in the land?

Elsewhere in the interview Lammy got himself drawn into muddy waters over Britain's involvement in the assault on Iran. His fellow Brit hater Naga Munchetty was keen to extract an admission that Britain was prepared to engage Iranian targets inside Iran. Lammy fell into the trap.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Good grief.
