Remove Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Boris Johnson is a highly inappropriate person to be the face of Britain overseas. He boasts a litany of gaffes in his comments about other countries and their nationals. He will compromise our ability to operate credibly on a world stage. Teresa May please remove him as Foreign Secretary now.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
