Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be supporting current British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Brexit agreement, as Tories who oppose the deal believe it does not offer the right solution, the Telegraph reported on Wednesday, citing a statement.
"The proposed arrangements would mean either that Northern Ireland remained captured by the EU legal order - and was increasingly divergent from the rest of the UK - or they would mean that the whole of the UK was unable properly to diverge and take advantage of Brexit," Johnson told the Telegraph.
He added that the best course of action would be to "proceed with the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill," as the current proposals are "not acceptable."
