Interesting. Three of the candidates are married white heterosexual men with kids, so there is close to zero chance that Two-Tier Kier – “2TK” – will appoint any of them as the next US Ambassador – James Roscoe, Sir Mark Sedwill and Sir Richard Moore. The fourth man is the gormless David Lammy. From his Wikipedia entry:
“Lammy had previously [J4MB: Before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in 2024.] been critical of Donald Trump, calling him “a tyrant” and “a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath” in 2018.” [J4MB: Early in Trump’s first term as US president, 2017-21.]
Lammy is evidently a born diplomat…
The first of the two women is Julia Longbotton, 62, a career diplomat, and The Donald is averse to career diplomats. The second is Barbara Woodward, 64, currently Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations.
