Sir Kim Darroch resigned last week after extracts emerged from memos he'd apparently written, in which he described Donald Trump’s administration as “clumsy and inept”. The former UK ambassador to the US made his decision to step down after Boris Johnson, the current frontrunner to replace Theresa May as British Prime Minister, had refused to support him during a leadership debate.
