Boris Johnson calls Theresa May Brexit deal a ‘scandal’ because ‘we haven’t even tried’
BORIS Johnson slammed Theresa May’s Brexit plan saying “the scandal is not that we have failed, but that we have not even tried”.
The ex-Foreign Secretary said the PM’s Chequers deal spells “victory” for Europe and compared the UK to a beaten wrestler, in his Telegraph column.

Boris says the negotiations were “pre-ordained as a bout between Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy” but says the UK is left “lying flat on the canvas.
He writes: “The UK has agreed to hand over £40 billion of taxpayers’ money for two thirds of diddly squat.
“We will remain in the EU taxi but this time locked in the boot, with absolutely no say on the destination.
“We won’t have taken back control – we will have lost control.”

Boris also accused members of the Government of using the Irish border to “stop a proper Brexit”.
May faces fresh challenges to her plans for Brexit as Tories from all wings of the party line up to urge the PM to ditch the deal she thrashed out at Chequers.
