NSTworld: BorisJohnson had vowed he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than tolerate another extension to the tortuous Brexit process, which began in 2016 after a knife-edge public referendum.
“It is a matter of deep regret,” Johnson told Sky News, before criticising Donald Trump after the US president said the prime minister’s deal struck with Brussels would prevent a future Britain/US trade agreement.
“Anybody who looks at our deal can see it is a great deal... it allows us to have full unfettered control of our tariff schedule.” Johnson had vowed he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than tolerate another extension to the tortuous Brexit process, which began in 2016 after a knife-edge public referendum.
This demanded that the government ask for, and accept, a delay from the European Union rather than leaving without the deal being ratified.
