Letter to the I: Lost with Boris

I second Roger Turner's letter about Boris Johnson's meaningless warnings concerning the UK allegedly becoming a "vassal state".  His disappointing record has done much to diminish our influence in the world.  Meanwhile cuts to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and to the armed forces have diminished our soft and hard power respectively.  At the same time as our fixation on Brexit France under President Macron has picked up the diplomatic initiative.  If Boris focuses less on his vanity project and more on the UK foreign policy one, we may become a strong and independent nation.
