I thought the foreign secretary was appointed because of their skills in diplomacy.

[Alanderahoythelimseva]

Pulls race card straight away, very troubling.

[dulcettonezzz]

He was right about the climate emergency. Middle of July and it’s freezing. Only had one BBQ this summer. Now that’s an emergency

[vvwalker]

Stop using identity politics, it's divisive, Lammy you plank

[rogersimmons]

Having seen his performance on Mastermind, I don't hold out much hope.

[evgenyzak]

Victim and race right away… disgusting.

[ianrhodes]

‪He was careful to talk about being a Foreign Secretary a black working class man from Tottenham, because James Cleverly was the first black Foreign Secretary, which denied him an extra embellishment.‬

Race card pulled in 8 seconds. Labour everybody. Jeez we have 5 years of this!

[jayalexanderdraper]

I literally get so frustrated when anyone makes race an issue or achievement.

From your previous television and radio appearances, I can honestly say I wouldn't trust you to run a bath, let alone a government department.

Lammy in ANY government position ? OH DEAR. Come back Dianne Abbott, all is forgiven.

[syewhy]

Nobody asked about your story. Didn't you hear what problems people have in this country right now?

[Nick-AngelpeodSeaxisc]

My first reaction was to roar with laughter.
Absolutely no foreign politician will take him seriously.
It goes way beyond tragic, it is pure comedy gold.

[John_G]

I'd never have thought he was black if he hadn't told us. Ah well thanks for letting me know David.

[Ladybird]

Just look at Tottenham & his speech on climate change today to see the impact this man has. It’s enough to make you weep .

[simongarthwaite]

Definitely the worst of all the new Cabinet and thats saying something.

[FlamingDragon-fzbp]

[Johntequila-xp]
