Apparently BoJo has had enough of Donald Trump. It seems he yearns for Biden to become America's next president.
The UK government is privately "desperate" for Donald Trump to lose the upcoming presidential election and be replaced by Joe Biden, according to a report by the Sunday Times.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is publicly one of Trump's closest international allies.
However, his government has been privately trying to distance itself from the US president, in anticipation of a potential Biden victory in November, the Times reports....
One senior UK diplomat, who asked not to be named, told Insider earlier this month that a Biden presidency would bring a welcome end to the "venal corruption" of the Trump era.
"A lot of stuff will change if Biden wins," the diplomat said.
"The venal corruption of the Trump family and the nasty narcissistic aspects of his behavior — all that will go with a different sort of president," they said.Well, in the Times of London of all places. The Sunday Times. Britain's "newspaper of record." That should suffice to send the Mango Mussolini into a rage. I expect he'll go beyond the "fake news" retort to smear America's BFF and her prime minister, the Queen and her surviving Corgi. "Desperate" no less.
Ooooh. Feel the burn. There are probably howls of outrage right now in the hallways of Mar-a-Lardo.
As for BoJo, the Brits must have concluded Trump is a Dead Man Walking come November. There's no way they would have leaked this to the Times otherwise.

This could be Bojo, Mound but imo it is more likely that we are hearing from the 'muscle-memory' of the professional UK foreign service.
and as to
"venal corruption of the Trump family"
It seems Hunter Biden is a polite shyster who had the good graces to rob foreigners rather than Americans.
The article doesn't say that BoJo was a source. The story cites a member of the Tory cabinet and a veteran diplomat. It would be unimaginable that Johnson would say such things, not with his own mouth.
It very well may have been Sir. Humphry, but I couldn't possibly comment.
Trump is a detestible venal wart on humanity. The sooner he's gone the better.
Still, I'm not sure I'll be able to stomach the coming response of the respectable elite middle, pols, media at all, of which this Tory leak and probable President Joe Biden are two early examples.
Our long international nightmare is over. Now back to normalcy... I.e. saying the right things, keeping the quiet parts quiet, while driving corporate profit at the expense of the earth and almost all her inhabitants.
I have a feeling that the strain of listening to Trump for 4 years is going to feel like child's play compared to the great, bipartisan, masters of the universe consensus to come.
