Boris Johnson has awkward run-in with Turkish president at Nato summit

The pair later had a finger-wagging match when the Turkish leader made a joke about Boris, before Joe Biden stepped in to ease the tension.

In 2016, Johnson won a 'most offensive Erdoğan poem' competition, where he called him a 'wankerer'.
