The likely future foreign secretary has been attending elite gatherings in the US while courting MI6 and displaying his establishment credentials on Labour’s foreign and military policy, which is likely to be near-identical to the current government.
“If I become foreign secretary I will not hide my trans-Atlanticism”, David Lammy told an audience at Chatham House in London in January.
“The relationships I formed as the first Black Briton to study at Harvard Law school have matured into deep bonds with many who work in Washington DC”, he added.
Labour’s shadow foreign secretary is unlikely to be misleading people on this score.
Since assuming the position in November 2021, Lammy has been a regular visitor to a string of elite, establishment fora in the US.
