I am sure he lit up the room and seduced her with his copious vocabulary.
Haven't heard much commentary on here about his maiden speech as PM. Anyone want to object to anything or was he right on the button?

Re: [Updated] Boris elected Tory leader
I don't know how he is going to sort adult social care without using their homes whilst also cutting taxes.

Re: [Updated] Boris elected Tory leader
So we are going to withhold the 39 billion if the EU do not agree to any of Bo Jo's demands and then use the money to pay for all the wonderful promises he made in his speech.

Like fully costing the Liberal Democrat manifesto I doubt he will have to worry about that for very long.

The beauty of the PMs relationship with the monarch is that is the one person they can be completely frank and honest with, without any worry that what they say will be leaked or used against them.
All PMs ( that I have read) have stated that they found that outlet very valuable.

Boris didn't back our US ambassador for giving frank and honest opinions, which was his job !
He's making too many enemies already. Always a mistake, particularly for a Tory.

He was one of 2 contenders to run the country. When the ambassador realised he wasn't being, supported by Bozza for doing his job he resigned. Mr Johnson is a muppet and now our PM. Enjoy.

Being a contender is not a job. No mater what Johnson could have said the ambassador's job was still untenable. He was basically "persona non grata" in Washington circles. He could no longer perform his job.

The whole ambassador issue is a red herring.
Boris has nothing to do with that, the only person that needs to be sought out and blamed for anything is there person who leaked it.

He have made an enemy of POTUS if he had, he played it exactly right.

But he told friends he took the final decision to resign after he watched Mr Johnson refuse to support him in a live television debate, and fail to commit to keeping him in Washington.

The President reckons he's the 'British Trump' so that's a good sign

He resigned because he could no longer function in his capacity as ambassador as he been denied access to POTUS due to the leak that was nothing to do with Johnson.

Sir Kim said the furore over the messages, in which he called the US president "inept", was "making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like".

Quote:

Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan, a supporter of Mr Hunt, told Sky News that Mr Johnson had "basically thrown [Sir Kim] under the bus".
