Donald Trump says Boris Johnson would be 'excellent' Tory leader

31 May 2019

Donald Trump has said Boris Johnson would be an "excellent" choice for the Conservative Party leadership.

In an interview with the Sun ahead of his visit to the UK, Mr Trump said: "I think Boris would do a very good job."

The US president said other candidates had sought his endorsement, adding: "I could help anybody."

It comes as Home Secretary Sajid Javid is the latest contender to say he is prepared to leave the EU with no deal.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Mr Javid ruled out holding another referendum, an early general election or revoking Article 50 to end the Brexit process.

I loved when Bercow called out Johnson for his sexist remarks. I loved when he said Trump couldnt address parliament. I suppose he should have conferred with Fowler but meh.
