James Roscoe, the deputy to Britain's ambassador in Washington, has abruptly left his post.

Foreign Office officials declined to give any explanation for why Roscoe had, as they put it, "left his post"

Until his sudden departure, Roscoe held one of the most senior, high-profile roles in the British diplomatic service, as second-in-command at the British Embassy in Washington.

He had also stood in for Lord Peter Mandelson for several months after he was sacked last year.

Roscoe was one of those tipped to take over the role, which ultimately went to another official, Sir Christian Turner.

He played a key role in President Donald Trump's state visit to the UK and in King Charles III's recent visit to the US.

The British Embassy declined to comment further about his departure.

Roscoe could not be reached for comment.

Starmer Faces Diplomatic Row Over Defence Spending at Nato Summit

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to attend the annual Nato summit in Ankara amid pressure from the US to increase defence spending. Despite a recent £15bn boost, the UK's commitment as a proportion of GDP is projected to rise slowly, falling short of Nato's targets. US Ambassador to Nato, Matt Whitaker, has urged members lagging behind to step up, implying the UK is among them. New Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis is pushing for a dramatic increase post-2030.
