What a shame.
This was nothing to do with efforts by the Conservative government to negotiate the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from the Iranian prison where she has been unjustly held for so long on false charges.
She had been released for three days to see her daughter, and it had been hoped that this release would be extended. This has not happened.

And the title of Foreign Secretary has now fallen to Jeremy Hunt, who seems to prefer hobnobbing with murderous dictators, rather than helping UK citizens.
It seems Mr Johnson set the bar so low that Mr Hunt isn’t even trying.
