I’m really not sure Boris Johnson should be mocking anyone for their photos.

After all, images showing him living it up at 10 Downing Street parties while the rest of the United Kingdom was barred from socialising with anyone outside of their homes have led to him being roundly booed during public appearances.

We’ll make an exception of sorts for the mockery of Vladimir Putin, though. The Russian president’s annual calendars often feature him in various states of undress, displaying what he clearly reckons is extreme machoness, and he seems incapable of riding a horse without whipping his top off.

At this weekend’s G7 summit at the Schloss Elmau in Germany’s Bavarian Alps, BoJo joked with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about whether they should keep their suit jackets on.

Here’s The Independent:

Warming to his theme, Mr Johnson then added, “Shall we take our clothes off?” – before suggesting: “We all have to show that we’re tougher than Putin.”

Amid the laughter Mr Trudeau joined in, suggesting a “bare-chested horseback ride” in a reference to when Mr Putin was pictured shirtless riding a horse in 2009.

Mr Johnson then told the group: “We’ve got to show our pecs.”

You really, really, don’t.

I’m sure the footage went down very well in Russia.

Perhaps, instead of platitudes about the heroism of the Ukrainian people, these global powerhouses can do more to end the country’s invasion.

We should also mention that Johnson and Trudeau also joked about the size of their respective…. jets:

Mr Johnson said he had seen “Canada Force One” on the tarmac, before Mr Trudeau joked that it was “not quite as big as yours”

On the size of his official Airbus jet, Mr Johnson replied: “No, ours is very, very modest.”

It’s not often you hear men say theirs is actually smaller. Boris may be able to keep his jacket on but the same cannot be said of his trousers.

Does he even know how many children he actually has? It’s believed he has eight, but Boris has not officially confirmed the exact number.
