Johnson is ‘villain’ over ambassador
BY BEN GLAZE SHAMELESS Boris Johnson was branded the “biggest villain” yesterday in the saga which led to Britain’s US ambassador quitting.
Sir Kim Darroch resigned this week after leaked memos revealed he branded US president Donald Trump “inept”.
He quit after Johnson publicly refused to back him in a TV debate with No10 rival Jeremy Hunt.
At a Commons debate yesterday, Shadow Foreign Office Minister Liz McInnes said: “The biggest villain of all is the man who is about to become our next prime minister.
“He made an active choice to throw our man in Washington under the bus.”
Johnson said yesterday: “I rang Kim and said how much I regretted his resignation.”
