  1. Gary McKinnon: Theresa May admits she has not spoken to US attorney general for five days

Theresa May has admitted that she still has not spoken to US attorney general Eric Holder five days after she controversially blocked the extradition of computer hacker Gary McKinnon.

The Home Secretary also tried to play down suggestions that she had let the US Government believe that she would go ahead with the extradition.


The Daily Telegraph disclosed on Saturday that a furious Mr Holder was refusing to take Mrs May’s phone calls because of the decision. Officials have described the US's relationship with Mrs May as "finished".


The row over Mr McKinnon is threatening to become the biggest cooling in trans-Atlantic relations since Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi was released three years ago.


Mr McKinnon had faced 60 years in prison if he had been found guilty in a US court of hacking into military computers from his north London home over 10 years ago.


But he won his battle against extradition after Mrs May told MPs on Tuesday there was a risk Mr McKinnon could kill himself if he was sent to face trial in America.

    "Mr Holder is said personally to feel completely screwed” by Mrs May’s decision....."

    Well that puts you firmly in the majority, Mr. Holder (if that's any comfort).

    I begin to have a horrible feeling that, after all my wishing for and calling for a new leader of the Conservative party, Mrs. May could be it. After all, Conservative MPs do tend to love a strong, domineering woman.

    When it comes to the Falklands the Americans should consider 'sharpening their pen'!!!!

    After 10+ years of being on the recieving end of Allied support its time to pick a side.

    There appears to be one rule for Americans and America and another rule for everyone else. Until the idea of a one way extradition policy is placed firmly in the dustbin the UK ought to have the right to decide which British citizens are extradited
