It is not often that the blog comes out in support of Boris, but the Foreign Secretary’s visit to Libya, a minor coup for him, revealed a far more realistic minister than the showman clown we have become used to. He told the Libyans not to make the same mistake as Theresa May and call an election before they were ready and also admitted that the UK government (of which he was not then a member but TM was) was wildly optimistic about its Libya intervention and getting rid of Gaddafi was a tragedy for the Libyan people. This candour is both realistic and refreshing. Well done Boris.
It may not go down too well in Downing Street. But Boris is not fussed about that. They can just whistle.
