Moments of embarrassment for former UK prime minister Boris Johnson, who despite resigning as head of government is still considered the main architect of Brexit, as well as the damage linked to the UK’s exit from the EU. The former tenant of 10 Downing Street was speechless when he moderated the public meeting while attending a conference in London. He asked To the audience: “Anyone who thinks Brexit is a good idea, raise your hand”.
After a few seconds of waiting with the audience’s very few arms raised, the moderator took time to say “okay, we don’t have it…” and was interrupted by Johnson with a few formal words. The former prime minister later said that a small sample of British voters were “insensitive” to the show to reconsider leaving the EU.
“The problem right now is what we’re not getting,” Johnson said, returning to his Brexit betrayal. “We have great authority to change. People wanted change in their lives, they wanted to see things done differently,” the conservative politician said.
Johnson also expressed his concerns about the new Brexit deal incumbent prime minister Rishi Sunak struck this week with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen. A text that agrees to resolve the crisis in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom but closely tied to the Republic of Ireland and thus to the EU. “I would find it very difficult to vote for something like this because I thought we should have done something very different,” Johnson said in the text’s parliamentary passage, announcing the battle.
