What an absolute dork. Unless of course he was having a flashback to being debfiefed by Labedev Snr(again) in a debauched weekend, alone in an Italian castle?

//The Lebedev (if that is who you actually mean) thing is a load of nonsense. Certainly embarrassing, but you are reading far too much into it. Your motive is simply to make cheap politcal points.
Fine. But that is what it is//
So why was it so newsworthy, why did it worry the Security Services and why did he appoint Lebedev against their advice over serious concerns?
Do you understand what national security along with transparency and accountability in government actually mean?
It certainly was embarrassing, especially when before a PSC he claimed(yet again) to have no knowledge of said meeting, until his memory was ‘jogged’ a little.

Yes.
//But presumably you are joking about "Freudian" slip.//
(Sigh)……hence the reference to meeting up(minus his Met Police security detail) with a former KGB chief directly after a NATO summit where they’d just been discussing, yes, you guessed it…… Vladimir Putin and the Salisbury poisoning.
If I have to explain the irony it’s obviously lost on you.

Freud as wish fulfillment
and not sex
or to be exact
Freud's most well-known theory, wish fulfillment, is the idea that when wishes can't or won't be fulfilled in our waking lives, they are carried out in dreams. Even anxious or punishing dreams have their roots in wish fulfillment, according to Freud.
oh it has to be dreams
My dear late papa explained to us adolescents that walking down a corridor and trying to pass a woman but doing a waltz instead, was in Freudian terms a wish to have sex with her.... ( 1965)
Oh I am not being pedantic am I?
Perhaps I should have prefaced: Fr. Jack look a like explains....

Ironic indeed.
But the more he faces questions about his actions and movements at that time, the appointment of a peer despite Security Service advice(that he refused to publish) combined with wealthy Russian donors making large contributions to his party for tennis matches and meeting up with a former KGB chief looks rather iffy to say the least, hence he was questioned by a PSC about it and exacerbated the situation as he gave vague, forgetful answers.
People have been forced to resign in disgrace for far less.
Take a look at his character and demeanour that I listed on the previous page, then attempt to reason why it looks decidedly dodgy to anyone of an inquisitive nature.
Do try to understand why evasion over meeting up with said persons and intrigue surrounding such events goes against all parliamentary procedures and guidelines at that time, then ask yourself why one journalist deemed it his ‘defining scandal’, it’s all in the links for you.
