    Any idea who paid for Johnson's recent visit to Ukraine? Archived Message

    I'm assuming it wasn't at the taxpayers' expense.

    Also, I find it odd, to say the least, that an ordinary MP who holds no government position, and doesn't speak in an official capacity for HM's government, can decide to swan off to a war area on a whim.

    = Who paid the insurance if he'd been killed or injured during this trip?
    = What part did the British military -- army/air force -- play in facilitating the trip?
    = And if so, at what cost?
    = Did Bongo need official permission to go? If not, why not? And if he was granted permission, who by and for what reason? And if he wasn't, why was he allowed to go anyway?

    The whole thing is most peculiar. Could Starmer just decide to go if he decided to get some brownie points? Would he have to seek official approval?

    Daft I call it.
