Cables sent from the United Kingdom's Ambassador to the United States to the British Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) describe President Donald Trump as "inept," "insecure" and "incompetent," a UK government official confirms to CNN.

The cables were leaked to and first published by the Daily Mail.

Sir Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador to the US, used secret cables and briefing notes to warn the UK government that Trump's "career could end in disgrace," and described conflicts within the White House as "knife fights," according to the Daily Mail.

A UK government source tells CNN the memos described in the Daily Mail story are "real."

UK should immediately recall this lowlife, vicious ambassador, to show some good faith towards the US.

And a lot of Brits are looking at the explosive growth of the US economy and saying to themselves “wish we could have some of that incompetence over here”.

So a man that was able to upset the status quo to become President is inept. Got it.

Looks like the Ambassador gets all his news from the Huffington Post.

Sounds like he was describing Teresa May. Anyway, the State Department should inform the British government that he needs to be replaced in DC.

This clown better start looking for a new backwater job. Perhaps ambassador to Guyana where his big mouth won’t get him into as much trouble.

Maybe there’s an opening at the London Zoo for him?

“Darroch was born April 30, 1954, in South Stanly, County Durham. He attended secondary school at Abingdon and went on to study zoology at Durham University.”

“The U.K. should fire whoever leaked the cables.”

Sir Kim Darroch sounds like a boy named Sue.

Since CNN isn’t quoting or showing the cables there’s no way to tell if the ambassador is expressing his personal opinion or reporting back to DC on what other’s -for example UK official’s -confided in him.

England has its version of the swamp.

And as a result, Britain has lost its world image and is rapidly losing its freedoms.

Overrun by savages and too gutless to get them under control.

Well, Trump is the President of the most successful, generous, wealthy, and powerful current nation on Earth. This guy is smarmy bureaucrat/diplomat.

The way this reads is that he was expressing his own opinions.

As I said, the UK should recall him immediately and apologize to President Trump.
