Responding to the news that Boris Johnson is to travel to Ukraine to meet with president Volodymyr Zelensky for talks the day after he missed a call with Vladimir Putin, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Layla Moran MP said: “Britain deserves so much better than having Boris Johnson represent us on the world stage. He’s been missing in action while war looms in Europe – and while he might be playing catch-up now, it’s too little, too late.
“This is the man who picked pleading with his backbenchers over talking tough to Vladimir Putin. He’s spent the last month phoning wavering Tory MPs when he should have been meeting foreign leaders.
“Boris Johnson’s lies make him unfit to hold the office of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He is an international laughing stock whose opinion holds diminishing weight. If he were a true patriot, he would resign and let someone who can better represent this great nation take over.”
