Kremlin trolls Boris Johnson as he resigns but EU sends message of hope to UK

It is safe to say that the PM is not liked in Russia, even though his links to the country have long been under scrutiny.

Nicola Sturgeon has said the Prime Minister will “cause chaos” if he stays on until October.

From his resignation speech, it looks like he wants to stick around for a bit.

Here it is if you haven’t seen it:

"I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world".

Boris Johnson continues by thanking his wife Carrie, their children and his whole family "who have had to put up with so much for so long".

Chris Bryant doesn’t want him staying around that’s for sure!

Chris Bryant – I fear that this Prime Minister, the disgraced, deselected Prime Minister, will be more dangerous in these next 3 months… than he's been in the last 3 years… so can he please make sure we have a proper government soon? pic.twitter.com/ShJnvi06xF

Any sympathy for Boris Johnson? Maybe read this first.

When I was laid off by Boris Johnson ( at City Hall), I was called into a big room where he stood with a clipboard and unceremoniously read out job titles followed by the words “will be deleted”. I do hope he is served with similar courtesy.

Kremlin

So what does Russia make of all this?

Well, this morning, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: ‘We would like to hope that some day in Great Britain more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power.

“But at the moment there is little hope for that.

“He really does not like us. And we (do not like) him either,” Peskov said of Johnson.

Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska said on Telegram that it was an “inglorious end” for a “stupid clown” whose conscience would be blighted by “tens of thousands of lives in this senseless conflict in Ukraine”.

Maria Zakharova, the top spokeswoman in Russia’s foreign ministry, said Johnson’s fall was a symptom of the decline of the West.

Maria said: “The moral of the story is: do not seek to destroy Russia.

Zakharova went on: “Russia cannot be destroyed. You can break your teeth on it – and then choke on them.”

EU

The EU delivered a different message but didn’t praise the outgoing PM.

Guy Verhofstadt wrote: “Boris Johnson’s reign ends in disgrace, just like his friend Donald Trump. The end of an era of transatlantic populism? Let’s hope so. EU – UK relations suffered hugely with Johnson’s choice of Brexit. Things can only get better!”

EU – UK relations suffered hugely with Johnson's choice of Brexit. Things can only get better! 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
