If ANYTHING shows why Hunt is not fit to be the UK supporting Darroch proves the matter
Trump's response was remarkably restrained. Darroch should have resigned on the spot and if not he should have been instantly recalled.

On top of that, tourists flock to a country that still has living monarchs, earning the UK about £7 billion in annual revenue.
Queen Elizabeth II certainly doesn’t rule with the iron fist of her distant ancestors, but she definitely isn’t worthless. Even if many of the duties granted to her in the royal prerogative don’t amount to much, those in power still listen closely to her opinion and she’s adored by a vast majority of her subjects.
The Queen also has a special relationship with the Prime Minister, retaining the right to appoint and also meeting with him or her on a regular basis.
She may not have much power, but she sure is powerful.
