The next PM.

This could be posted in the Trump thread, Brexit thread or PM thread. But once more under TM leadership ( and I use that term as loosely as diahorrea). We are the laughing stock of world politics. The latest leaks in th USA from the British ambassador are diabolical. Trump should of kicked him out of the USA. The POTUS has laid into TM and others and rightly so.

Thoughts on TMs legacy. Give me sodding strength.

So an ambassador gives his honest opinion of the Trump administration and its one that many would agree with.

Trump reacting because he can’t handle home truths - this is only a week after the idiot was talking about airports during the war of independence

Ambassador has done nothing wrong

Agreed but the leak is very embarrassing for the country. Hope whoever did it is found and prosecuted if possible.

It would not surprise me if it was something to do with Trumps people anyway - nothing better to make people forget about what he said last week than to make another country politicians look worse

I like the Trump conspiracy theory - or maybe just the flip-side of that - the current Ambassador is just not Brexity and pro-Trump enough for the BeeJay Crew. Get current incumbent out of the way and get in someone who will do the bidding of the future UK PM. Just a thought based upon nothing at all except wondering - why the leak?

Anyway - always good to hear Farage having a go at the Ambassador - and rather than supporting the UK Diplomat instead sucking up to Trump.
 
Briefly on London crime/stabbings... As an MP for a London constituency you'd think the Minister for Police would be pitching his thoughts into the debate... But, the silence remains deafening...

In fact, without googling, I suspect the vast majority couldn't name him...
 
Trump interfering again in our politics. Now if I remember correctly some people got very angry when Obama did so, I'll just go check if they feel the same about Trump's intervention.

Or is it Tit for Tit. Aka Tit for Tat👍

Does anyone think Trump backing you is worth anything? Obama had respect around the world, he had gravitas. Trump is an embarrassment, his tweets over the last couple of days are the responses of a child, a spoilt child.

Obama should not have got involved, it is an unwritten rule, so I would not defend what he did.

I don't have a problem with what the ambassador said but once it become public knowledge there's no hiding place for the ambassador. He has to be recalled, and he's done no wrong, because I fail to see how he will be accepted in Washington with any good grace.

As for Trump's tweets; I detest the man, and find it hard to believe he got elected. As for still being in office when you look at how he's behaved - stunned. However, I find some of his comments over this quite tame. I'm surprised the US hasn't already told the UK to replace the ambassador.

I agree, the ambassador has to be recalled and posted elsewhere. Not his fault but that is the reality.

What's this to do with the next PM?

They will have to sort this out. Easy for Boris as they both get on, more awkward for Hunt but he seems a relatively safe pair of hands so I am not worried about that. I don't think you would choose a PM due to how they get on with the US though, not when the President is Trump.
 
what a moron :

The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy. He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was...
...handled. I told
@theresa_may
how to do that deal, but she went her own foolish way-was unable to get it done. A disaster! I don’t know the Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool. Tell him the USA now has the best Economy & Military anywhere in the World, by far...
....and they are both only getting bigger, better and stronger.....Thank you, Mr. President!
 
Watching Bofoon Boris go against the Hunt... you can see why i dont want Boris even more. He may have the charisma but he rambles on incoherently. In some ways i hope Hunt does not win, that way he can keep powder dry for when Boris makes a meal of Brexit.
 
Hunt says he'd keep the ambassador in the USA, even after the guy used stupid language which he was daft enough to put in writing.

Just because Trump is daft there's no need for our diplomats to act the same.

"Hunt says he'd keep the ambassador in the USA, even after the guy basically did his job as an ambassador and used quite mild language, stating what everyone knows anyway.

Just because Trump is daft, there's no need for us to be as stupid and use Trumps particualar brand of moronic intelligence to characterise someone"



Corrected that for you.

I said what I wanted to say thanks; your correction is surplus and unwanted.

Hunt is trying to defend the indefensible.
The ambassador did not accomplish any purpose in his foolish briefing and managed to risk the UK's reputation in diplomatic circles and by associating himself in a supportive way Hunt has demonstrated his own poor judgement.

Say what you want about said diplomat, but time after time, this government suffers " leaks" from nigh on all departments. Couple with the fact this government has had more cabinet resignations in TM short tenure, than any other government in history. You have a government that has no respect whatsoever from the general public and it seems it's civil servants.
At this moment in time the opposition should be smashing TMs Tory party. But there not. We all know why..
