A gaffe too far from BoJo

Sir, - I feel that perhaps Boris Johnson is fast approaching his use-by date as a representative for this country both as Foreign Secretary and Brexiteer.

His latest gaffe at the Tory party conference on clearing dead bodies out of Libya was crass and insensitive.

However, in itself it perhaps shouldn’t lead to his dismissal.

I feel the greatest misdemeanour by far was when he said that there should be no payments made to the EU after the two-year transition period.

Does this mean that he would accept payments should be made during the two-year period?

If so it really does not line up with his earlier heroic remarks that the EU could whistle for a divorce bill.

He has missed the whole point completely.

As a leave voter I and many others did not vote for a transition period and I feel badly let down.

I voted out and we should be out as quickly as possible.

However, I am rapidly beginning to lose hope that it will ever happen with the weak leadership of Theresa May, who was a remain supporter.

Meanwhile, the majority of Tories are too busy fighting each other.

The only person I feel that is fit to lead Brexit negotiations is Nigel Farage.

However, that will never happen as he would never fit in with the old private school boys’ elite club who are completely out of touch with the majority of Britain. Gordon Kennedy. 117 Simpson Square, Perth.
