Kim Darroch resigns

Suppose this is what we can expect a lot of once we "take back control".

A couple of years ago, Johnson was highly critical of Trump. But that's all changed, and now we're reduced to trying to be (quite frankly) America's bitch - and an America whose policy is to put themselves first over everyone else at all costs.

It's depressing, but this is the UK that the world has to get used to now. And us too.

At all costs? They are seeking fair trade deals and economic security. If anybody puts themselves first over everyone else, then that would be the multinational corporations.

I would agree with most of that - but the America First policy (whether or not it succeeds even on its own terms) is about putting some Americans first - the ones who aren't poor, in bad health, black/latino, etc. If you are a rich white businessman with a love of golf, or a paranoid neo-Nazi, then the Trump crusade (intentional choice of word) is for you!

Yes, I meant they put America first, not Americans first. There's a difference, as you point out, and the current White House are not even making a secret of it.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson's only job is to get us out of the EU, then we can make Britain great again.
