Boris Johnson on Brexit in 6 quotes

Sam Lowe of the Centre for European Reform says: “The EU cannot fundamentally go along with this. They don’t trust the UK to pursue a trade relationship that will allow physical infrastructure to be voided at the border [across Ireland]. Mr Johnson is effectively saying: ‘Trust me.’ They don’t.”

...“No deal is something people love to talk about until they become responsible for it,” says Mr Lowe. “The reality is that a no-deal Brexit would likely bring Mr Johnson’s premiership to a very quick end.”
