After Jo Johnson resigned on Friday over the government’s Brexit position, his brother Boris was quick to take to social media to commend Jo for taking a brave stand – by calling out the flaws with the proposed Brexit deal. However, the former foreign secretary stopped short of backing his brother’s call for a second referendum – also known as a so-called ‘People’s Vote’.
Still, Jo need not worry – there are plenty of other Johnsons willing to fill that void. With Jo and Boris’s sister Rachel a vocal Remain campaigner already, their brother Leo has now joined the fold. Leo Johnson took to Twitter to praise his brother Jo and call for a ‘real vote’ – going so far as to @ his rogue Brexiteer brother Boris.
Respect to you Jo my bro. Full (and accurate) facts, clear set of options. We need a real vote based on those @BorisJohnson
