Boris Johnson described Vladimir Putin as “not mad, definitely bad” when asked about his views of the Russian president during an interview on Sunday, 6 October.

The former prime minister sat down with Camilla Tominey to discuss the release of his memoir Unleashed.

Discussing his feelings towards Putin, Mr Johnson said: “He’s quite small, Putin... Not mad, definitely bad.

“He means no good for this country... He regards the United Kingdom among their most important strategic foes, which is a pity but he’s chosen that path.”
