BRITAIN’S Foreign Office succumbed to the “Irish charms” of iconic revolutionary Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, a previously unseen document reveals.

Guevara was considered by the British Government to be the most influential figure in Cuba after Fidel Castro.

The Argentinian is described with grudging admiration in the 1968 Foreign and Foreign and Commonwealth Office report on Leading Personalities in Cuba.
