After quitting, Boris Johnson says Brexit ‘dream is dying’
Boris Johnson warned Monday as he quit as foreign secretary that the Brexit “dream is dying” and Britain is “headed for the status of colony” with its plan to stay close to the EU.
In a two-page letter to Prime Minister Theresa May, the leading Brexit supporter said that while he initially accepted the government’s proposal, it now “sticks in the throat”.
“Brexit should be about opportunity and hope. It should be a chance to do things differently, to be more nimble and dynamic, and to maximise the particular advantages of the UK as an open, outward-looking global economy,” he wrote.
