He would love what they have - unfettered, lifetime control backed by the military with no more than a passing nod to democracy and human rights. At least he has the sense to know it won't happen for him.

I seriously doubt if Xi or Macron will show up. Xi does as he pleases in the region so will send a deputy. Things are boiling up in France and Macron will need to focus on domestic matters with a looming election.

The Times reporting that Boris will stand. Should be an interesting week.

Charm offensive, all good.

Putin's fault today. 4 minute speech followed by taking 4 questions from the press. She left in a huff.

A lovers' tryst? They're not going to get to the "run away together to a secret hideaway" part of the dream.
