Last week, British foreign minister David Lammy went fishing with US Vice President JD Vance at his retreat in the English countryside. Now, he could be fined for doing so.

David Lammy was photographed fishing alongside the US vice-president during the second family’s stay at Chevening House this weekend. The Telegraph understands Mr Lammy did not possess a rod licence – which is a requirement in England and Wales – meaning he could be fined up to £2,500 by the Environment Agency.
