Suppose they gave a Boris Johnson RNC event and nobody came – which is what happened
There is a contingent of familiar British political commentators at the Republican National Convention.
The part-time MP for Clacton.
Nigel Farage who attempted 8 times to become an MP, misses the UK's state opening of parliament today
Instead of representing his constituency of Clacton, he's flown half way around the world to attend the Republican convention and grift for Donald Trump

Sorry to hear about the turnout for your RNC talk @BorisJohnson. My 2016 fringe was like this but now I regularly sell out big rooms and have a lovely following. Chin up, son. pic.twitter.com/NH6FG8hPYG
