According to a new book, Boris Johnson privately declared he had “no plan” for Brexit when he heard the referendum result, and admitted he didn’t even think the Leave team would win.

No wonder Johnson botched everything to do with Brexit during his time as prime minister.

Even his “oven-ready deal” turned out to be another one of those lies that he is famous for telling; almost as bad as the one about £350m for the NHS printed on the side of the Vote Leave tour bus.
