Boris is banned from Russia.
Russia has banned Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other senior ministers from entering Russia over the UK’s “hostile” stance on the war in Ukraine.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and 10 other senior politicians – mostly members of the Cabinet – have also been barred.
Moscow said the decision had been made in retaliation to the UK’s sanctions against it since it invaded Ukraine.
In March, Moscow imposed a similar ban against US President Joe Biden.
I’m sure they will lie awake worrying about it. I don’t suppose hostile nations in a war – even if the ‘enemy’ isn’t actually exchanging fire – are welcome. So a big fat hairy ‘meh’ applies here. They could ban me if they like. The effect will be the same.
A tip for anyone planning on visiting Russia. When booking into a hotel, always ask for a room on the ground floor. Then, when you accidentally fall out of the window, you don’t have far to go.
Sturgeon banned too, Putin dislikes dictators
