Boris Johnson accused of Brexit ‘hornswoggle’ after insisting Britain won’t pay EU 'divorce bill' first
Boris Johnson has been accused of deceiving voters after insisting Britain would not pay an expected £50bn Brexit “divorce bill” unless the EU started trade talks. A senior EU source said the Foreign Secretary was hoodwinking the public about “the realities of Brexit” – insisting leaders were “united” in the view that the bill must be settled first.
