Stand up to bullies like Trump say Liberal Democrats

The UK deserves a PM who is willing to stand up to bullies
Responding to the resignation of UK ambassador to the US, Sir Kim Darroch, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader and Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Jo Swinson said:

"Sir Kim Darroch should never have been put in this position. His resignation is a true loss to our diplomatic service, and we must have a full and urgent investigation into where these leaks came from, with appropriate action taken.

"It is regrettable that President Trump has such sway over our foreign policy. Boris Johnson's failure to stand up for one of our most senior civil servants has once again proved that he will always put his own interests ahead of the country's.

"The UK deserves a Prime Minister who is willing to stand up to bullies and fight for what is best for our country."
