Good to see that Boris Johnson is showing his signature spinelessness before he even becomes prime minister.
The heir apparent of the Conservatives has been loudly trumpeting a US trade deal as a solution for the self-inflicted economic catastrophe that his Brexit policy will cause. How we can trust him to negotiate with the US when he lacks the self esteem to even back experienced British diplomats in a meaningless spat with Trump.
Bet you anything that, if he gets in, he'll be willing to show the same callous attitude towards the rest of the British population in any future trade negotiations. Get ready to say goodbye to competitive NHS bargaining with private company suppliers and hello to chlorinated battery chicken imports.
It would be unfair to blame this entirely on Boris though. The 2017 resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers illustrated that this whole Tory administration is incapable of working with its own experts as it is tugged by its lunatic fringe towards a no deal Brexit.
