Overthrown at the behest of the USA. Will he survive three years in prison in Pakistan? Could he be allowed to be released at the end of his sentence?

All you need to read “Many in Pakistan had felt Khan’s arrest was the inevitable conclusion to his attempts to go up against Pakistan’s all-powerful military establishment, who have had a grip on Pakistani politics for decades. All previous prime ministers who have tried to take on the military have ended up in prison.”

Another backwards country, leave them to it.
Whilst we're at it, stop their foreign aid, they've got their own space programme ffs.

I’m all for helping poorer countries with foreign aid but I cannot get my head around why we should be helping countries like Pakistan who themselves have different priorities such as their space prog. Have to agree , they should be trying to sort their own problems first I would have thought rather than launch something into space at a cost of ? £ M . Mind you we are very good at spending money on useless projects . HS2 , PPE and anything to do with COVID which entailed the government trying to help out small businesses which , in the end, didn’t exists or if they did had rather inflated staff numbers . Now that must have cost a bloody fortune. Oh, mustn’t forget Crossrail too . Im sure there are other projects/ schemes which we have wasted money on due to our governments incompetence and money grabbing chancers who may never face the full force of the law unfortunately .

Never going to happen . Apparently we are on the verge of agreeing a trade deal with India. There are sticking points though and they concern student visas and time limited visas for highly qualified workers .
