"Hold no brief for sb/sth" nghĩa là không ủng hộ, không thích, không sẵn sàng hỗ trợ ai đó/điều gì (ý tưởng, câu chuyện...).
Ví dụ
We condemn (lên án) this jailbreak (trốn tù, vượt ngục) and hold no brief for the people who perpetuated (duy trì, tiếp tục) it. But we observe that the deeper problem of endless delay continues to place pressure on finite resources (nguồn tài nguyên hữu hạn) to the extent that those resources are literally buckling.
This column holds no brief for Williamson, aka (as know as) Private Pike, who appears to be overly ambitious, over-promoted and overly pleased with himself. But his account certainly seems to have the ring of truth (cái đúng) about it. Sedwill has a reputation (danh tiếng), in which he revels, for bullying (đàn áp, ức hiếp) ministers (bộ trưởng).
I hold no brief for the way the British press (báo chí) is reacting, nor for the rather uncertain reaction of the United Kingdom Government, but I believe that the original decision (quyết định) to allow full free movement was and is economically (về mặt kinh tế), politically (chính trị) and morally (đạo đức) right.
