Ex-PM argues Rishi Sunak’s plan for post-Brexit trade arrangements will crush efforts to diverge from EU
Boris Johnson has said he will find it “very difficult” to vote for Rishi Sunak’s revised deal for post-Brexit trade arrangements in Northern Ireland, arguing that the plan ties the UK to EU regulations that will crush efforts to innovate and diverge.
The former prime minister’s first public comments since the Windsor framework was unveiled on Monday came as Ian Paisley, one of the Democratic Unionist party’s most high-profile MPs, said he did not see how the party could support the plan.
