Mr Johnson criticised Reform UK's stance that Nato provoked Russia's aggression in Ukraine, arguing that the UK needs strong and determined leadership on international issues. He also attacked Reform's proposal to abolish the two-child cap on benefits, saying that public spending needs to be reduced. Mr Johnson defended the Conservative Party, calling it "the oldest, most successful party in the world" and praising Kemi Badenoch as "the sparkiest and most intellectually original" leader.
