Cynical people might suggest that there’s a way for Johnson to make a fast buck – or even a slow but enormous buck. We couldn’t possibly comment.

While there, he has had a meeting with Donald Trump, in which they discussed Ukraine – the same Ukraine that Trump intends to throw to his good friend Putin.

Great to meet President Trump who is on top form after the shameful attempt on his life. We discussed Ukraine and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy. pic.twitter.com/OEVZPZsRE1

He may or may not be convinced he’s had some influence over Trump, but nobody else was convinced. Much mockery followed.

The only comment I wish to make on this bullshit is that Trump really does have tiny hands. https://t.co/YQEGF7IWqp
