Boris Johnson has spoken out on a coming Brexit deal that may leave Britain a subordinate state to the European Union and render the Brexit referendum a waste of time, reports the Reuters wire agency.
Expressing his frustration at a Brexit in name only, Reuters reports of the British foreign secretary:
Foreign minister Boris Johnson has told friends he is worried that Britain will accept a Brexit deal that leaves it subordinate to Brussels, making the 2016 EU referendum a “total waste of time”, the Sun newspaper reported on Monday.
Johnson, one of the most senior pro-Brexit government ministers, is seen as a potential successor to Prime Minister Theresa May. He was one of the most prominent supporters of leaving the European Union during a divisive referendum campaign.
“I’d rather us stay in than leave like that,” the newspaper quoted Johnson as telling friends in an unsourced report.
