Boris Johnson's appointment as foreign secretary has made him appear like a latter day Lazarus and made Britain a laughing stock around the world. The BBC (HERE) are running a piece today about international press reaction. German television presenters and Obama's press spokesman were both apparently unable to stifle laughter on announcing the news of BoJo's elevation to one of the highest offices in the land.
The most telling comment came from Carl Bildt, former Swedish PM who tweeted "I wish it was a joke, but I fear it isn't".
Either it is Theresa May's masterstroke or a catastrophe in the making. Let us hope she has provided him with all the rope he needs.
