Donald Trump took to Twitter to lambast Sir Kim Darroch and Boris Johnson failed to back the US ambassador (Picture: AP; EPA) Boris Johnson has been accused of throwing the British ambassador to the US ‘under a bus’ after the diplomat quit following a public spat with Donald Trump. Top Tories have rounded on their colleague – and leadership frontrunner – after Sir Kim Darroch left his post in Washington early. Chancellor Philip Hammond made clear that he thought the former foreign secretary had not handled the crisis correctly and should have backed the beleaguered envoy to the US more strongly. Sir Kim resigned on Wednesday, saying it had become ‘impossible’ for him to carry out his duties effectively in the wake of the firestorm after his diplomatic cables to London were leaked. In them, Sir Kim said the Trump administration was ‘inept’ ‘incompetent’ and ‘dysfunctional’. The US President hit back publically on Twitter and branded the ambassador a ‘very stupid guy’ and a ‘pompous fool’ and said the administration would have no further dealings with him. Sir Kim’s position came under further pressure after Mr Johnson, the Tory leadership front runner, repeatedly refused to back him in Tuesday’s Tory leadership TV debate. British Ambassador Kim Darroch resigned on Wednesday after the leak of diplomatic cables in which he heavily criticised Donald Trump (Picture: AP) Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan angrily accused Mr Johnson of having thrown Sir Kim ‘under a bus’ to further his own leadership ambitions. Mr Hammond, who said he does not expect to serve in a Johnson-led Cabinet, made his displeasure clear. He told ITV’s Peston: ‘I think, as a former foreign secretary, I would have felt the obligation to stand up for a first class civil servant who has done nothing wrong.’ And Tory grandee Sir Nicholas Soames said: ‘I have to say that I didn’t think that Boris behaved in the way that one would expect a former foreign secretary, who understands the important relationships with ambassadors, and the importance of ambassadors telling the truth of what they see and find. ‘I thought he hung Kim Darroch out to dry… and I was ashamed to see it.’ Philip Hammond made his displeasure clear to ITV’s Robert Peston and said he will not serve in a Johnson-led cabinet (Picture: Rex) Sir Alan Duncan said Mr Johnson had thrown the ambassador ‘under a bus’ (Picture: PA) However, Mr Johnson has rejected the criticism, telling the Sun: ‘I can’t believe they’re trying to blame me for this. ‘It seems bizarre to me. I’m a great supporter of Kim’s. I worked very well with him for years. ‘I think that he’s done a superb job. ‘I’d be very surprised that’s the construction placed on events.’ Tory grandee Nicholas Soames said he was ashamed of Boris Johnson (Picture: Rex) Meanwhile Downing Street confirmed that ‘initial discussions’ had taken place with the police regarding the Whitehall investigation into the source of the leak. ‘If there was concern about criminal activity, the police would become involved more formally at that point,’ a No 10 spokeswoman said. On Wednesday, Mr Johnson expressed his regret at Sir Kim’s departure. ‘It is not right that civil servants’ careers and prospects should be dragged into the political agenda,’ he said. His comments were dismissed as ‘insincere guff’ by Sir Alan – a long-standing critic of the former foreign secretary – who said he had deliberately failed to give Sir Kim his support during the debate.
