    So, how about a couple of bog standard Boris quotes as an assurance that when the Brexit clusterfuck hits the fan there will always be the tenderly post-colonial anglo-saxon special relationship to fall back on:


    (Howdy Obama! Did ya know that) "Blacks have lower IQs"

    Or how about the likely next president of 'murica, Hillary Clinton, who Boris has described as being "like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital".


    At least there's one Great Leader and Statesman Supreme on the pro-Brexit side who should prove to be an invaluable best buddy for the new British Foreign Clown.


    All in all excellent choice for pure comedy value, but it would've been even better if Farage had been handed the post of secretary of Brexit (minister of disintegration) where he could have been responsible for actually delivering his campaign promises instead of just mocking and cheering from the safety behind the sidelines.

    I saw it and didn't believe it.

    I can imagine the number of fantastic trade deals resulting from Boris the diplomat being 0

    a cockup in my view, unbelievable....

    David Smith

    In a sense its a smart move - not for the UK internationally, but for Theresa May on the domestic front. With BoJo as Foreign Secretary, David Davis as Minister for Brexit and Liam Fox for international trade she has made three loud Brexiters take responsibility for EU and trade negotiations. If they succeed she will get the credit, if they fail miserably, then she can say as a Remainer she always thought this was a bad idea and possibly switch tack.
