Boris picks Barack

I thought that it was not the correct etiquette for political parties to be siding with other countries politicians ahead of elections

It seems though that Boris Johnson has jumped the gun on behalf of the Tories when endorsing Barack Obama today.

In an interview with square mile magazine he was quoted as saying that his election will do

wonderful things for the confidence of black people around the world".

Perhaps this follows discussions with David Cameron after his meeting with Barack on Saturday
