I saw a comment that May had found a note left in the cabinet office that said, "Boris Johnson: F. off!" and misinterpreted it to mean that he should be appointed to lead the Foreign Office.

Boris on the Turkish president:

There was a young fellow from Ankara
Who was a terrific wankerer
Till he sowed his wild oats
With the help of a goat
But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

Boris on Hillary Clinton: ...like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.

Boris on Obama: his attitude to Britain might be based on his “part-Kenyan” heritage and “ancestral dislike of the British empire”.

Boris on Africans: crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies with their watermelon smiles

He's made disparaging comments about other foreigners too - but he is charming and quick witted, so perhaps he'll be able to laugh it off when he gets to meet them for diplomatic negotiations...
