Boris Johnson, who is likely to become U.K. prime minister within weeks, is denying he played any role in the departure of Britain's ambassador to Washington.
Boris Johnson, the man likely to become U.K. prime minister within weeks, on Thursday denied playing any role in the departure of Britain's ambassador to Washington, who quit after coming under attack from President Donald Trump.
Trump responded by branding Darroch a"pompous fool" and cut off the administration's contact with him. But Johnson merely stressed his good relations with the White House and the importance of the trans-Atlantic relationship. Darroch resigned hours after Johnson made those comments. Opposition Labour Party legislator Liz McInnes called Johnson's behavior"the most craven and despicable act of cowardice I have seen from any candidate for public office, let alone someone running to be prime minister."
May could try to replace Darroch in the two weeks she has left, but she is unlikely to have enough time.

The great irony is that Brexit, marketed as a way for Britons to “take back control” from the E.U., is tilting the U.K. toward a new state of vassalage.
