Trump fired off a further series of Tweets on Tuesday in which he described Darroch as a “wacky Ambassador”, “a very stupid guy” and “a pompous fool”. “Sir Kim continues to have the prime minister’s full support … He continues to carry out his duties with the full support of the PM,” May’s spokesman said, adding that May reiterated to her ministers that the leak was unacceptable.

Re: Gumboot Diplomacy
Pah. Let's focus on the character of someone doing their job and not on the fact an ambassadorial dispatch was leaked or what it actually said. Meh.

If the UK government sacks the ambassador it will show itself to be a US lickspittle...

If May had any balls she would expel the US ambassador and declare sanctions on US goods.

Try being a diplomat working with a cantankerous man child that hates you.

Re: Gumboot Diplomacy
I think I read that Trump hasn’t even met the guy. His toddler tantrum was based solely on the bruising his itty bitty ego got from the leaked memos.
