'We appoint our ambassadors,' says UK PM's spokesman

Britain has an "incredibly strong and enduring" relationship with the United States and will build on it when Donald Trump takes office as president, a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday. Trump said on Twitter that "many people" would like to see Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage as British ambassador to Washington, a break with usual diplomatic protocol and an appeal that was quickly dismissed by British officials.
