I honestly think Boris could end up being one of the best Foreign Secretaries in history. Hope he doesn't **** it up.

Dear God. An educated man he may be, but he is most certainly cloth-eared.

Doesn't do to pander to them too much if you ask me. You wouldn't catch a French politician coming over here and speaking in English.

Well yes. Those who try too hard to 'do' the accent are pretty embarrassing. Virtually traitors, really.

Oh, yes, but she reads it out like it's her shopping list. She makes it clear that she doesn't care - and may not even know - what she's saying (although we all know she does).
