“I object to him and his authorities and what he stands for politically. I object to the fact that he had arrived right here on holiday, and the quantity of police that I’ve seen facilitating his holiday is extraordinary. So many police automobiles are operating around.

“We know that it’s just not a holiday. If you are on holiday, you don’t go to the home of the foreign secretary. He shouldn’t be making under-the-table political decisions. You can see the way he seems to be. Such a man, baby, and so emotionally fragile that if he is annoyed, he is making decisions with global implications, it seems on a whim. That’s quite worrying.”
