Agree - huge political mistake from May here. She could have given Osborne this position, thereby keeping all of the Cameron/Osborne backbenchers onside, and having the slightly important side effact of a much more dignified senior politician with some world standing.

Johnson is an of, and is viewed as an embarrassment around the world. It's all well and good for some to say 'masterstroke' etc etc but Foreign Sec is a serious role and should be given to someone capable and experienced.
