There is something very back to front about installing someone who is the consummate go between but has virtually no relationships in DC and excellent relationships in London.
His job is to stand up for the UK, and call out the US. Some of that behind the scenes, but also loud and clear. He's not there to be some sycophantic lackie.
I guess there’s a certain logic to picking a guy who has has a history of working with pedophiles and human rights oppressors to manage your relationship with the Trump administration.

His greatest talent is arching literally every conversation back to himself.
He has just slightly more self-awareness than Boris, but not by much...
A great read!
