Boris Johnson is swapping Westminster for Ukraine today as pro-Kremlin media ruthlessly mocked his Partygate woes - and Vladimir Putin snubs his calls.
Still reeling from his two-hour Commons drubbing last night, the PM has arrived in Kiev where he will meet president Volodymyr Zelensky against the backdrop of Moscow's menacing military mobilisation.

Who give a God Damn about Partygate. 30% to 70% of the elite are fucking hypocrites. So Boris likes to party. So what. The COVID Guru is Britain was caught getting a piece during the lockdown. Nor being a Brit I do not know how many or who among the British leadership said one thing and did another, but unless they are different than the the American leadership, a whole lot of them were for masking, social distancing mandates and restricting group size, but violated all the rules.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and San Francisco Mayor London Breed were spotted maskless during the NFC Championship game Sunday in LA
Boris is just doing what Newsom, LONDONBREED and Garcetti are doing. Except he is or was going to end the lockdown earlier than those assholes.
Boris should call CA Gov Gavin Newsom. Maybe get some tips on how to survive the grave sins of partying maskless when all the proles are mandated to muzzle.
Russ has the best truthful comedic response. I guess I am too mad to make a cutting sarcastic remark like that, which lays bares the hypocrisy.
Shit has been going on for too long.
