[The Foreign Office has admitted deleting a Twitter post that claimed UK experts had "made clear" the nerve agent used in Salisbury was "produced in Russia".
On 22 March, the Foreign Office's Twitter account claimed "analysis by world-leading experts at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down made clear that this was a military-grade novichok nerve agent produced in Russia".]

I didn't think there was any doubt the agent was made in Russia?

I thought the dispute was over whether the attack was sanctioned by Putin, or if the agent fell into the wrong hands?

We live in the age of foreign policy where the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing... or maybe it's just 3D chess... I dunno. Bureaucracies. (Maybe it's both :laugh:)

The Daily Mail has attempted to protect Boris but the readers comments are one of outrage, which is somewhat surprising.
The Sun hasn't said a word as far as I can see but that's to be expected.

Huge amount of anger on Twitter. Boris needs to stop posting.

Try bumble your way out of this one Bozo.

UK is so right about Russia, they are disgusting that they want to assist in the investigation, i also wouldn't let murderers help with the ongoing investigation

Russia probably did do this, though so far there's no definitive proof. This however is about Boris lying. Boris is known for lying. He was once sacked for doing so. He's not only misled the British pubic, he's misled every country that kicked out Russian diplomats and then he's tried to cover his tracks by claiming Corbyns somehow responsible!!
