Lammy admits licence error on JD Vance fishing trip
Foreign Secretary David Lammy admitted to an error in not having a rod licence during a fishing trip with JD Vance, blaming it on an "administrative error." Lammy has since rectified the mistake by purchasing the necessary fishing licence and informing the Environment Agency. The two men went carp fishing at Chevening House in Kent, with Lammy failing to catch any fish, while Vance's children were successful. It is unclear if Vance had a fishing licence.
