Boris Johnson is recklessly damaging our country by deliberately breaking international law over Brexit.
The admission from Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis and resignation of the Government’s most senior lawyer, Sir Jonathan Jones are momentous moments.
These two acts broadcast to the world that Boris Johnson is not to be trusted.
Turning against a Brexit divorce deal he negotiated, signed, persuaded Parliament to approve and then used to secure an 80-seat majority in a general election illustrates how dangerously unprincipled Johnson is.
A no-deal Brexit would jeopardise hundreds of thousands of jobs, require expensive trade bureaucracy and inflict misery on lorry drivers at a time when the coronavirus pandemic is still destroying livelihoods.
Johnson must be stopped and forced to obey the law, like everybody else in Britain.
