Boris Johnson is going to be Prime Minister, and some of the world's worst people are delighted.

News of Mr Johnson's successful election was met with a range of reaction - both positive and negative.

Many leading Tories - including a number who may now be hoping for key cabinet positions - repeated calls for the party to unite and ensure the UK's departure from the EU.

But a number of opponents of Mr Johnson's threat of a possible no-deal Brexit were more muted in their responses, with International Development Secretary Rory Stewart and Justice Secretary David Gauke both indicating their plans to return to the backbenches.

Meanwhile, a chorus of right-wing figures and angry internet provocateurs loudly welcomed Johnson's victory.

Here's a round up of some of the awful endorsements the new Prime Minister has been given.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has lavished praise on Boris Johnson - dubbing him "Britain Trump".

The US President made the comments during a speech to Turning Point USA, a right-wing youth group.

He told the crowd of politically active teenagers Johnson was "a good man" and that he was "tough and smart."

And he said Johnson would work well with Nigel Farage.

President Trump said: "A really good man is going to be the Prime Minister of the UK now, Boris Johnson . Good man. He's tough and he's smart.

"They're saying "Britain Trump". They call him "Britain Trump.""

He went on to claim that the Britain Trump moniker was a complement, because "they like me over there."

He added: "They like me over there. That's what they wanted. That's what they need. He'll get it done. Boris is good. He's going to do a good job."

Ivanka Trump tweeted her congratulations to Boris Johnson after his Tory leadership election victory.

But it appears she thinks Mr Johnson is about to become Prime Minister of a single London borough.

After news of his landslide victory was announced, the First Daughter tweeted: "Congratulations Boris Johnson on becoming the next Prime Minister of the United Kingston."

Ms Trump later corrected the tweet. But here's the original in all its glory.

The endorsement everyone wants.

Nigel Farage

The Brexit Party leader gave warm - if slightly couched - congratulations to the new Prime Minister.

Pauline Hanson

Hanson is a far-right Australian politician who once wore a full burqa in the senate chamber before tearing it off and demanding face veils be banned.

She has also called for a ban on Muslim immigration to Australia, because, she, said: "We are in danger of being swamped by Muslims".

And finally...Ukip

The party, which has of late allied itself with far-right extremist Tommy Robinson and rape joke defender Carl Benjamin, sent a message to their Facebook followers welcoming Johnson's victory.
