Separated at birth or cloned? Donald Trump and Boris Johnson [Composite: Laura Tisdale/Twitter].

Private Eye has pointed out there are many similarities between them, including:

• Stupid hair
• Spouts nonsense
• Known philanderer
• Inexplicable popularity

Put that way, even I’m ready to be convinced by the conspiracy theorists that Mr Johnson is Mr Trump’s clone.

On that evidence, perhaps Mr Johnson is right to shun the EU ministers’ meeting.

If they’re as concerned about Mr Trump as we’re being led to believe, they might string him up and then call it mistaken identity.

Boris Johnson has snubbed an emergency EU foreign ministers’ meeting called to discuss Donald Trump’s shock US election victory.

A Foreign Office spokesman said that an “act of democracy” had taken place in the US and that there was no need for EU ministers to organise an extra meeting on top of the one already scheduled next week.

It comes after Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson branded vocal European concern about the US election result as a “whinge-o-rama”, while Ms May was criticised by Labour for failing to “temper” her congratulations to the President-elect.
