How can Johnson be trusted to sanction Putin’s oligarchs when he shows such contempt for UK by knighting terrible minister
Look on the bright side. It’s not that hard to be on the right side over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. So the bar is quite low for a politician to be considered to have a good war. Just think what it would take to have a bad one. Which is why – more or less – Boris Johnson has made most of the right calls. If not always all at the right time.
But it’s also quite tempting to indulge in politician envy. The Ukrainians voted for a comedian and got a leader. A man with an unerring moral compass. We in the UK also voted for a comedian and got exactly that. Except his act had long since stopped being funny. It never occurred to us that the world was going to get this serious. First Covid. Then this.
