Steve Barclay – Boris Johnson ‘believes in Brexit’

David Cameron’s memoirs are due to be released this Thursday, with some of the more explosive highlights already seeing serialisation. The Sunday Times has published an extract today that argues that Boris Johnson did not believe in Brexit, and only backed the Leave campaign to win over the Conservative rank and file. The Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay joined Sophy Ridge and immediately refuted the former Prime Minister’s claims:

SR: Does Boris Johnson really believe in Brexit?
SB: He does! He led the campaign… and the Remain side was expected to win, so the more prudent thing, if someone was looking purely at their career, would have been to back Remain.
