So when David Cameron appeared before the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy yesterday I was expecting an ungainly mass of cookie dough slumped in front of us. He was also showcasing a snazzy new pair of spectacles, procured, quite possibly, from the same oculist as Brains from Thunderbirds. Much of the discussion centred on his formation of the National Security Council. He felt it was a mistake for his successor Theresa May to let former Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill combine his role and National Security Adviser. Tony Blair’s old Cabinet enforcer Lord Reid (Lab) was next.
