Boris Johnson has said G7 leaders should get their 'clothes off' and show "pecs” at the G7 to prove they're tougher than Vladimir Putin.

The Prime Minister joked with other world leaders at a lunch in Germany today [Sunday] where they mocked the Russian President.

"Jackets on? Jackets off?" Mr Johnson asked in Bavaria, where German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was hosting the summit.

Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, suggested they wait for the official photograph, before Mr Johnson said: "we have to show that we're tougher than Putin".
