Blow for Boris

EVERY day it becomes increasingly clear that selfish, egotistical maniac Boris Johnson is a major roadblock to a decent Brexit deal for Britain.

The European Union’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier sounding more reasonable and optimistic about agreeing an orderly departure is a slap in the face for the old Etonian who is concerned only for himself.

Today’s warning from TUC leader Frances O’Grady about the threat to jobs posed by a hard Brexit, in which Britain could crash out of the EU with no deal, is frightening.

Whatever happens, prosperity and our country’s security must come first.

Mr Johnson’s poisonous personal vanity as he bids to unseat Theresa May and become PM confirms he is a problem, not an answer.
