Boris Johnson is such a hypocrite

Barely three years ago Bojo called Trump "crazy". Now he says calling him "inept" and "incompetent" was out of place?

No one in the UK, especially the BBC,, seems aware of the fact that the home country ALWAYS has the final say of the ambassadors of other countries. "With Trump, the UK can't send who it wants to the U.S. as ambassador!" everyone in UK shrieks on BBC. "We've lost our independence to that bully Trump!" That's not how it works. When any country wants to appoint a new ambassador, it ALWAYS must send the potential nominee's name to the host country for approval before making a formal announcement. In most cases, this is only a formality, but the U.S. had many nominees rejected by Communist countries during the Cold War, and Muslim countries scrutinize any potential Western ambassador nowadays for ties to Israel. So, the hysterical BBC, remainers and civil service potenantes saying Boris will just be a Trump poodle are ignorant that any PM must get the U.S. approval before officially nominating the person. Google it.

The UK has been a US aircraft carrier since Suez

Wow, that was the softest of soft interviews. At 4:54 comes the question we all want answered. Politician deflects. And the interviewer just goes with it?!?!?!

Britain is falling really low.

when you are so desperate to throw shit at Johnson hoping something sticks

oh dear - lord rickets is annoyed is mate has been sacked - emily thornbery is livid clearly something has happened which might benefit ordinary people. UK swamp draining.

"What has happened to our country?". Good question, one none of you can seemingly answer...

How would he have stayed if he was not going to be invited to meetings or functions? He would be more than just useless in the position.

Hunt made a bad error of judgment there!!

The media trying to pin blame on Johnson for every single thing that happens in the UK is reaching a ludicrous height of hysteria. Isn’t Hunt rather than Johnson the Foreign Secretary? Isn’t the resignation of an ambassador an FCO competence? Everyone is acting as if Johnson is already PM... which is odd for a whole clique of people that don’t want him as PM... LOL.

What stunning crap from the BBC.... No matter Boris’s position Darroch was done. To assume he could have carried out effectively is naive..

4:11 Britain does look weak and will put up with bullying. What is happening to the country?

Boris 'Brutus' Johnson will always have your back.

Good . These people get paid a fortune for diplomacy and obviously don't have any. They have been found out and really see what they think of each other. Pathetic.

He was reporting opinion, not fact, there is not one single hard fact contained in the stupid leaked message.

No-one criticised Bliar being Dubya's lapdog did they?

If someone can't do his job, he has to go. Anything else is irrelevant.

Why does England have so many names? England Britain UK Sissyland

Isn't It's funny how all people talk about the trumps

To Answer the question. Boris had NO ROLE. Mr Hunt made a comment on what he would do if he were PM which was arrogant. Boris however said he would not be so presumptuous ( as he is not PM) which was the correct response as Boris is neither PM nor a Minister. So the correct political thing is to say nothing until you have a position that merits a comment, Hunt was arrogant and reckless without knowing any of the facts. The BBC can try all they like to smear Boris, but I think he was correct to wait before making a comment. This again is a politically biased report by the BBC.

Police need to interview Isabel Oakeshott urgently.

No the problem is, he had been leaked, its a major no no as an ambassador simple as that, what he said and got leaked makes his position untenable as an ambassador anywhere in the world.

So if Trump was "Inept" how did he get a ambassador to resign in 48 hours ?

Did Emily Thornberry refer to Theresa May as a decent Prime Minister in that exert she was in?

None!!! Who made the leak!!! National security at stake!!!!!

How is this Boris’s fault??? That is a huge stretch... I’d even go out on a limb and not even blame the ambassador... you can’t come back from a leak like this... if the tables were turned our ambassador would have resigned too.

TBHI think someone in that department has a gripe with Jeremy Hunt and this is their way of trying to blow up his bid for PM. Darroch was stupid to write down anything so inflammatory.

You Brits are confused as to your place and position in the world. If you like, you can keep him in place but, you will learn reality when your ambassador becomes irrelevant and sidelined and Britain effectively loses access and representation in Washington. You will need America's support after Brexit so, if you like, you can keep this loose cannon sulking around Washington.

and yet the actual contents of the leaks is never disputed.

So who ordered the hit on the Iranian oil tanker? The arrest of its officers?

Boris needs therapy to come to terms with his receding hairline. Disheveled hair doesn't mean the rest of us can't see he's balding. Geez. It's tragic.

Any decent ambassador wouldn't have sent such messages

That Thornberry woman seems to think Boris is prime minister!

Johnson’s record has Home Secretary leaves a lot to be desired ask the lad who spent years in prison because of his stupid incompetence?

I just hope trumpie doesn't read what Boris said two years ago Irish citizen

The Ambassador's position had become untenable; he had become a blocker to future trade and good relationships with the US. The last thing a new Prime Minister would need, especially one who has a good relationship with Mr Trump, is to retain the current ambassador. Mr Johnson is now 14/1 on to be the new Prime Minister. Why would he give the ambassador his backing if this would work against the country? The Ambassador had to go anyway, his resignation is nothing to do with Mr Johnson. Mr Johnson was just stating the obvious when he refused to back the ambassador. Storm in a teacup, only notable for being another contorted media/political campaign to undermine Brexit and thus democracy.

Emily Thornberry said, she would stand by her ambassador (even though the ambassador makes terrible mistakes verbally insulting the president of another country)! What is the role of the ambassador? Emily Thornberry is absolutely delusional.

Trump leaked it as a way to get rid of Darroch , now that is one smart guy.

Why is no one speaking to Oakenshott ?

Ironic that they show the British Ambassador with Trump at a St Patrick's Day event in Washington.

Liar, liar, liar!

Where the Fook is Dudley Rees-Mogg?? He's gone missing for days. We need a full run-down of his treachery-related activities.

Does the BBC ever give up ?

That's nonsense.

Boris Trump wants a lackey as the ambassador perhaps Rees Mogg if he can have time away from his investment fund. Or dear Nigel.

Now we know what Trump meant. Darroch's mistress was a CNN reporter.

He leaked it himself he needed an excuse to leave. the fake dossier by English man Christopher Steel shit is about to hit the fan

How you like your mutton now.

It is simply remarkable to me that this man is, by most estimates, going to be the next resident of number 10, Downing Street. Having just watched the recent interview Andrew Neil did with Boris Johnson, it is astounding to (apparently) know that he will be the next prime minister. Boris Johnson does not lie per se, but dances around the truth like it would burn him of he landed too close. Although I was glad to see Neil take a no nonsense approach to the interview; curbing Johnson's tangents frequently and reprimanding his obvious pivots. Boris cut his way through the barrage of difficult questions using a figurative axe made completely out of BS. This is a man that gave a foreign country reason to imprison a British woman, however untrue the reason. He sees the Backstop in Brexit negotiations as a hindrance to British freedom. Even though it was conceived as a protection against chaos on a border that not too long ago managed to reach an Agreement that solved it's recent chaotic state. Johnson, as Neil frequently points out, dodges questions that might engender embarrassing or damaging answers by blustering about something or other that props him up as a good leader. From what I can see, the qualities that the human being known as Boris Johnson chooses to showcase in his public appearances are: high-minded standards (however oversimple) as well as childish pettiness, well spoken but vacuous arguments, severe understanding of what he wants and what will serve him to get what he wants, ignorance of rules that would get in his way, and intelligence in service of foolishness. In short; he seems to be an intelligent man that will talk his way out of responsibility. Maybe I'm wrong, I would love to hear from anyone who thinks so. But anyway, I am not a politician, but even a fool could understand that this nonsense vomiting, responsibility shirking, blonde version of everyone's favourite orange skinned ogre is a terrible man to give the responsibility of forming a government to. Maybe I got a bit carried away towards the end there... PS: Sorry that this comment mainly references another video. The comment section of that video is disabled. Cheers if you've read to here.

If every NATO Ambassador had the cables released on their thoughts about Trump and the Whitehouse, America would have no allies left.

So Boris is supposed to support a guy whose un-diplomatic words have harmed his position as ambassador?

Thorn berry is ridiculous..

An opinion is, 'Factual'? Resigned? Should have been Sacked not Backed!

Boris is a blue falcon!😔 No one should choose Trump over their country.

Guilty!!!

Who told Trump what the word ' inept' means?

What was Johnson blabbering and gibber jabbing about??

He played no role. Find the source of the leak

LMAO at Lady Nugee. As if Jezbollah wouldn't defer to Putin or one of his favoured autocrats in the same situation. What a ridiculous woman.

This was one of only a few times that i staunchly supported a tory

Geremy hunt has more class than boris...lol

Billy Bunter plays true to form

Sir Kim is just telling the truth! duh

Sir Kim had to resign because Trump said you are not welcome in my Country any more. Boris stand is irrelevant.

+ Unfortunately, Darroch's words were made public. Darroch could have expressed the same conclusions in neutral terms. Many lament Darroch's resignation then spread blame in all directions. What kind of nonsense is that? Why blame Trump? Why blame Johnson? Why not blame Darroch? Darroch's own words compromised Darroch. Shouldn't one blame Darroch alone until the leaker is found? Even then one must conclude that Darroch was reckless and went further than needed. PM May said she had every confidence in Darroch. Well and good, but she never said she thought he should stay as UK Ambassador to the US. As Sir Michael said Darroch did the honorable thing by resigning. Why expect Johnson to do what May would not? Who with a scrap of sense would insist on Darroch's staying?

hope trump had a militia to unleash on him

And rightly so Boris is going to throw all out toys out It’s to do with the crown

If you run your own business then surely the last thing you want if your truly honest about this would be for anyone bad mouthing you or your business. It’s just not what anyone or any business can truly accept and even more so in government terms I think your just trying to make something out of nothing Jeremy hunt must realise this don’t forget he was a entrepreneur after all let’s vote for boris Johnson and put a stop to this shite if you don’t mind thank you

Excuse me but could you all be a little more obvious about how totally biased you are , yeah try to work on that ok

If she plays her cards right and runs for office in the bronx she could end up the next president!!! She ll be soon saying she’ll build a wall. To keep the Mexicans in 😜

I get the feeling we will hear BoJo use the word 'regret' a lot in the next few months! Where is the strength? Where is our sovereignty?

Boris Johnson is most of the things Darroch wrote about Trump. In resigning, Darroch put the country first, something neither Trump nor Johnson would understand.

How intelligent was it to not think about the possibility his words would reach Trumps ears.

Trump and Johnson are two peas in a pod.

Oops, something went wrong? Blame Trump! 🤣

Will this fake news end bbc end I am ending it its a joke to the english people why pay them for these smears I will never fund them again Amazone and netflix for me.

Brexit: "Make the US Greater!"

Can somebody please explain? What has brexit got to do with Trump...Surely that's interfering in UK politic's!

What a load of nonsense - he offended our greatest friend - he should resign - so unprofessional ! He should have been sacked straight away ...

Tugendhat’s argument is silly...

Trump is doing a great job!!

May should of grown a pair and sacked him, oh she is weak. Sir Kim chatting anti Russian tripe bye bye.

Good on you BORIS! Smart Move...

There’s only one way to avoid a leak. Go to the toilet on the hour 🤪

History does repeat itself didn’t Boris and Gove stitch each other up. This guy wants to be UK pm where’s the out door?

Obviously a brexiters plot!

Trump got pissed off,got on the phone to Bojo the bozo and well you can guess the rest. "Would you stand by the UK Ambassador to the USA Mr Johnson"? Response_Garble garble,pause,garble, pause, garble, pause,scratch head,pause. A real show of loyalty and confidence. No wonder the man quit.

Judas denied Jesus 3 times - Boris went one better, but is still in deniel of his cowardly act.

What would Churchill have done? Not 'regret, regret, regret', 'he was such a good diplomat'. Our sovereignty has been strewn away like chaff in the wind and our representative has been sent home from the playground by the big bully with the orange hair.

51st States of america

Boris = MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN .

Come out of the EU or else the EU will get pregnant!

If you do not want America’s support, pay for your own debts & protect yourself! Why would we want a liar as an Ambassador.

This is all nonsense... we dont care about this... I have watched enough... Borris will deliver Brexit --- that is all that matters.... Sir Kim, Sir Tim, who cares, everyone loses their job at one point or another.... Welcome to the real world....

Now we should grab an opportunity to send dianne abbot out to replace him. Let trump see how we really suffer over here!!! I’d send lammy too. We know she likes a tipple on the way home. If she’s still hungover in the morning he can don her weave and step in no one will tell the difference. And she won’t say anything abusive about trump as she doesn’t possess the vocabulary 😂🤣😂☹️ its a win win all round 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Leaked cables , leaked letters , leaked emails etc.... are part and parcel of politics this days . The fact that Sir Kim’s position was unattainable after the leaked cable was pretty obvious and resignation was the only option . Respect and trust had given way to rancor no workable relationship was possible any longer . However that is not the main issue , the main issue is as a country we must stand by our man whom was send by us to do a job for us . The Americans themselves would understand that and expect no less . It is the norm in international relationships between friends . Boris Johnson almost certainly our next PM has given us how a glimpse on how he deals with the EU on Brexit and any future trade deals with the US or China . Capitulation in the first instant then throw some unfortunates under the bus while avoiding any attempt in answering any questions.

Am I the only one thinking it's a good thing he's gone so we can have a pro US-UK ambassador? I get sick of communist anti American lefties moaning away up the corner.

A very British-American coup carried out by Close friends,Trump and Johnson on the British people and Putin is loving every minute of it.It is now clear,Britain is under the rule of dictators and are about to become a country non grata.The people who will suffer are the middle and poorer classes and all power will be in the hands of very rich oligarchs who have already transferred their finances into European jurisdictions.There is also a very lucrative business being carried out in islands e.g., Caymen Islands where EU passports can be bought.Johnson should be no where near government and Labour should get themselves a new leader.Listening to Fallon,should give people an insight into the corruption in government.
