Prime Minister has staked his career on Brexit

ON November 27, 2019, before the pandemic, Boris Johnson, denying a Labour claim that the Tories would put the NHS for sale, said: “This is a complete diversion. Under no circumstances will the NHS be up for sale.”

Trade Secretary Liz Truss also said the same. Mr Johnson is a compulsive liar and charlatan.

This year, on January 19, the Government rejected an amendment safeguarding the

NHS and public services from trade deals by 340 to 241 votes, using the Tories’ overwhelming majority.

The Tories also reduced their influence by removing the right to scrutinise any deal.

They have given Mr Johnson a blank cheque to sign any toxic deal he wants.

If a deal was good why would he not want his overwhelming majority to scrutinise it?

There is an advantage to Tory MPS not being allowed to scrutinise any deal. If they were to scrutinise, their electorate would know about what was proposed and know what their MP was doing.

On fishing, Johnson said “by 2026 there would be a fishing Eldorado”.

He claims the current problems are temporary. Before January 1 there was no problem selling fish to the EU. It is not the EU that caused the problem. It was the “ovenready” Brexit.

On this week’s Question Time, Brandon Lewis said that Northern Ireland had an advantage by having access to the EU.

The rest of the UK could have had the same “advantage” but the hard-line Brexiteers did not want it.

Mr Johnson has staked his career on Brexit, which is not a success.

He never answers questions, making “diversions”, for example, whenever Ian Blackford (SNP) asks a question Johnsson always uses it to attack the SNP.

He is also very petty, not giving John Bercow a peerage but giving his brother one.

He has also not given the EU ambassador equal status. The US does and they are not in the EU.

Joe Biden is on record as saying ”Johnson is a clone of Trump”. He has also said that a trade deal with the UK has a very low priority John O’mullane, Hull.
