Bad luck, Angela Eagle.
She does seem to have an amazing talent for timing.

Her and Boris could have been separated at birth.

Hah!
I wonder how many heads of state are currently being briefed that boris will be a walkover in negotiations because of his "buffoonery".
Without realising he talked London into making him mayor and the UK into leaving the EU.

You think whoever is briefing them will fail to mention all that?
Suspect most of them will know already

You think Merkel et al won't know who was in charge of Europe's largest city for 8 years
And that the same bloke ran the brexit campaign? I think most of them read the papers occasionally and have probably even met him a few times

I mean in some cases that might be all they know about him but they will all know at least that
Merkel Obama etc will know significantly more. Probably stuff that we don't know like all his sexual partners going back years

Ah I see, you missed the point of my initial post.
Probably my fault, art school grammar.
Let me clarify.
Of course they will know the facts of him being mayor of london and was forefront in the leave eu campaign.
However I also suspect that they wont see through his "buffoon act" and will underestimate him in negotiations thinking he's just a simpleton.
"Without realising he talked London into making him mayor and the UK into leaving the EU." and you don't get to do that by just being an buffoon.

So they will know all that but they won't realise they know?
Interesting theory

Take a look at the political reaction to the news.

I'm not sure what your point is
Will foreigners think Boris is an arse? Probably given at least 48 percent of British people do

Obviously people on b3ta (and the internet) seem to think they're more intelligent than most politicians / prime ministers / presidents etc.
That's why they're probably working in design or in an office.

Her delivery is always shakey.
CAn you imagine that up against Theresa May?

I think it might work.
I mean: Angela Eagle resigned while she was launching her leadership bid. Boris resigned while she was talking about him. All she'd have to do would be to refer, in a public place, to Theresa May as Prime Minister, and... well, we'd need someone else to feed Larry the Downing Street cat.
