He was due to be the star turn in Doncaster at the northern Tories conference but hasn't turned-up!

I wonder why hmm

I can’t believe the PM is being criticised for supporting Ukraine.

Me neither. And I am not a Boris fan, most of the time I rant at the TV when I see him!

Perhaps posters should reflect on how their posts actually come across when they are taking the micky out of a Prime Minister visiting that war-torn and desperate country.

I hope Zelensky will not listen to any of his advice
I think you're wrong there. The UK has been more supportive than EU countries which are still allowing Putin to buy weapons with the money they spend on his oil.

Well said Callistemon praise where praise is due.

Is there another ethics advisor resigning or something else coming out of the woodwork? It seems that Johnson goes to Kyev when a disaster is about to break at home.

I cannot stand Boris but he has been a good friend to Ukraine-one of the first to help.

Are people criticising him for supporting Ukraine? It seems to me that they are criticising him for neglecting to keep commitments here.

Unfortunately the PM has devalued his currency to such an extent that even if his intention is honorable.....which I hope it is on this occasion.........our learned reaction is to be disappointed by him and expect that he is lying/avoiding/spinning/gaslighting/cheating/distracting etc.
