Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has said Boris Johnson described his time as foreign secretary as like being “imprisoned in a steel condom”.
Johnson became foreign secretary in 2016 and resigned in 2018 over Theresa May’s Brexit plans, but not before first attracting criticism for making comments Richard Ratcliffe said “enabled a propaganda campaign” against his British-Iranian wife Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. She was being held in Tehran at the time.
Speaking to LBC’s Iain Dale at a recent Edinburgh Fringe event, Baroness Davidson said: “He once described being foreign secretary to me as like being enclosed in a steel condom. I found it odd because I hadn’t asked him.
