Surely that’s Johnson’s job, seeing he likes spending time at ex-KGB oligarch’s Italian villas without his Special Branch bodyguards?

Boris Johnson has told MPs he met Russian oligarch and ex-KGB officer Alexander Lebedev without officials present.
"I have certainly met him without officials," he said. "I met him on a very few occasions."
And when asked if he met the Russian billionaire and former Evening Standard owner while foreign secretary in Italy in 2018, he said he had.
Mr Johnson made Mr Lebedev's son Evgeny a member of the House of Lords.
Controversy surrounds that appointment, since it was alleged - first in a Tortoise Media podcast and then in the Sunday Times - that the peerage was granted despite a warning from the security services that it posed a national security risk.
