Susanna and Richard interrupted Good Morning Britain today to deliver the breaking news from Boris, as Susanna announced: "Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson tells this programme there is a deal to be done over Ukraine, and now is the time for the UK to step up in negotiations with the US to end.".
When Swain first approached Boris, he asked: “Morning prime minister, would you come on Good Morning Britain, prime minister?” Boris' aide can be heard mouthing “oh for f***'s sake” in response.
Suggesting comments about Ukraine being to blame for the war after Trump accused leader Zelenskyy of 'talking the US into spending $350 on aid' for the country were "rubbish", Boris announced he believes the minerals agreement between the US and Ukraine is close to being signed.
Conservative sources subsequently insisted that the former prime minister was “categorically not hiding” in the fridge, from which Boris emerged carrying a crate of milk bottles – but instead his aides were taking a moment to prep the Etonian for a separate, pre-agreed interview.
The former Prime Minister, 60, was speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley live from Kyiv exactly three years since Russia invaded Ukraine.
