  • Exclusive: MI6 sideline new head

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, the incoming head of MI6 has already been sidelined by senior staff.

    It’s due to the results of serious background checks, and a review of her criminal past.

    It’s an embarrassment for the UK’s only acknowledged overseas Intelligence and Security unit.

    It’s not yet clear why an unsuitable candidate made it so close to such an important position.

  • King appoints Navy’s new head

    General Sir Gwyn Jenkins has been named as the new First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff. He takes over the Navy at a difficult time, with staffing and funding issues.

    His predecessor, Adm Sir Ben Key, stepped back due to an accusation of professional misconduct. He also did so on the backdrop of the ongoing Dover Crossings crisis.
