Labour leader challenger Angela Eagle was literally lost for words when she learnt that Boris Johnson has been made Foreign Secretary.

Watch the clip – it’s only 30 seconds long, look for the moment where she just realises her whole speech is pointless and there’s a new, baffling, frightening political reality in town:

Oh Boris is fun, he’s great isn’t he bouncing around, going to be the next Prime Minister and all of that, and all of that…[interrupted by shouting from audience]
And they never actually… put him…
[more audience noise]
They’ve just made him Foreign Secretary?
[Angela turns from camera in despair]
[Audience laughter]
[Angela turns back to camera lost for words]
[Audience shouts ‘noooo’]
Also worth watching is States State Department spokesperson Mark Toner who has to stifle smiles and laughter at hearing the news, then turns on a dime to do serious face.
