The Queen was "radiant" and "knowledgable" in her audience with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday, Johnson has said in the House of Commons.

Johnson told lawmakers the Queen's "impulse to do her duty carried her right through into her tenth decade, to the very moment in Balmoral only three days ago when she saw off her 14th Prime Minister and welcomed her 15th."

"I can tell you in that audience, she was as radiant and as knowledgable and as fascinated by politics as ever I can remember — and as wise in her advice as anyone I know, if not wiser," Johnson said.

The Queen met Johnson to formally accept his resignation as Prime Minister on Tuesday, and moments she later welcomed his successor Liz Truss. It was her final official duty as monarch.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has died at 91

  Gorbachev  at absolutely no point ever needed to see worldwide struggle in the future, not set in stone to make the world less dubious of socialism. He was a youthful star in the Communist Party, and when he was named Soviet forerunner in 1985, he was at that point working drawing in Western pioneers like British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had given him a memorable support in 1984. "I like Mr. Gorbachev," she said. "We can carry on with work together." Andrei Grachev, quite possibly of Gorbachev's nearest counsel, compared that support to a Frank Sinatra tune. "Assuming you utilize the expression from Sinatra's melody, 'On the off chance that you can make it there, you can make it anyplace.' So in the event that he could express it to himself that he could do it with Thatcher, he would be prepared and equipped for doing it with any other person," Grachev says. Grachev went with his supervisor to Paris in 1985 for a news gatheri...
