UK TREND : Boris Johnson sparks a Twitter fire

23 January 2023

Boris Johnson, a former British prime minister, has visited Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. On Sunday, Mr. Johnson travelled to the city’s outskirts before meeting Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine.

As people have questioned Johnson’s visit and its purpose in light of the fact that he has been benched, the hashtag #Boris Johnson has been trending on Twitter. Many members of the public have expressed their outrage and claimed that Boris appears to have used this trip for publicity in order to draw attention away from the assistance provided by the BBC chairman that allowed him to receive a loan of £800,000.

It was a surprise visit that shocked people , who were displeased as “ he is no longer the foreign secretary or the Prime Minster”. Thus, people are questioning “ who approved this trip and who’s paying for it ?”, people seem to be strongly against Boris Johnson representing them in any way, particularly “ on the world stage”.

Why is Boris Johnson in Ukraine? Is he living in the past? He is not the Foreign Secretary nor is he the PM! Do we want this disgraced Tory MP representing Britain on the world stage? Who approved this trip? Who is paying for it?

It was also highlighted that Johnson is visiting Ukraine again “ despite warnings for senior military figures that he should stay away”. Therefore, people have commented that he is just “looking for publicity”.

People were ashamed of his actions as “ he is using the situation in Ukraine to remain on the world stage. He’s undermining the UK government and democracy in general”. It was also sated again that “ he should not be representing the British people in any shape or form”.

High profile individuals were focused on the purpose of the trip , questioning “ if the taxpayer is paying for this trip, if its an official government business trip or just a Boris personal PR trip”.

Are we the taxpayer paying for Boris Johnson to visit Ukraine? Is he representing the UK on official Government business? Or, just a Boris personal PR trip. Should he be at Westminster performing his job as an MP? @RishiSunak

“No reason to be in Ukraine”

More importantly , people were tweeting that “ he has no reason to be in Ukraine , but rather he should be in the UK answering questions about the £800 thousand loan he got from the BBC chairman”.

What the hell is Boris Johnson doing in Ukraine? Shouldn't he be in the UK answering questions about the £800,000 loan he got from the BBC chairman?

It was evident to the public that “ Johnson was just escaping as news breaks of his £800 thousand loan guarantee”.
