A Russian state TV presenter has launched an extraordinary rant against Boris Johnson after he won a vote of confidence with Tory MPs.
Anchor Olga Skabeyeva accused the Tories of leaving in place a prime minister who was lying - referring to the Partygate scandal Johnson and his cabinet are desperate to put behind them.
The blast from Vladimir Putin ’s “Iron Doll” - who branded him “cynical and hypocritical” - came as Ukrainians lauded Johnson over his survival as prime minister, even making him an honorary Cossack for his moral and military support for Kyiv in the war with Russia.
