There is more to thinking of the world than expanding our diplomatic effort. But more embassies, more diplomats and more people on the ground would at least be a start. In the past five years, however, the Foreign Office budget has been cut by 40%, at the very time the UK is leaving the EU. In Germany, by contrast, the equivalent budget has almost doubled. It now spends more than three times the British total.Comment
