“Contact has been made with the Trump administration, setting out our view that we believe the leak is unacceptable,” Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman told reporters. “We don’t really believe this Administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept,” Darroch wrote in one memo. Ministers said the government did not agree with Darroch, although May’s spokesman said she had full faith in him.

An inquiry is now being held to determine who was behind the second serious disclosure of confidential material this year.
