SAJID’S ‘HUAWEI’ WITH WORDS

THE row over huawei surfaced at a private meeting of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs which was grilling home Secretary Sajid Javid last week.

Ed Vaizey, one of the first to speak, said: ‘As a former Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy, I have been invited to a party by a company called huawei. Do you recommend that I accept the invitation or not?’

Javid retorted: ‘Ed, when you were the Minister, I was your boss, and I remember you completely ignoring whatever advice that I gave you. So I’m not going to waste my time answering that question.’

Cue loud banging of the desks.
