Boris’s girl power bid

- By Nigel Nelson POLITICAL EDITOR

FOREIGN Secretary Boris Johnson has vowed never to go abroad again without a woman in his entourage.

He was embarrasse­d by his all-male team at a women’s empowermen­t event in New York this week.

“We will now be more diverse and representa­tive of the country,” he said.

Foreign Office panels just comprising men – what Mr Johnson calls “manels” – will also be banned.

On his trip to New York he also had dinner with his old pal David Cameron – but aides denied that he had been spotted “dad dancing”.

They added he only urged Mr Cameron to apply to lead Nato “as a joke”.
